Hi,

I just loaded XFree86-4 from the ports tree on my
laptop, running 5.2.1-RELEASE.

It took about 2.5 gigs of space to compile and add it
all.

Let's say I have a small hard drive in an old laptop,
and let's also assume that I am just loading X to just
have a simple GUI to run opera and terminal windows
on, and don't need a big fancy X server or whatever
...

What are some options I can add to the standard `make
install` command for that port to significantly reduce
the size of X ?
Did you do a
# make clean
in your /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 directory after installation? This should reduce dik space significntly.


Regards,

Uli.


Any general comments on making a smaller/faster/more efficient X for an old laptop are greatly appreciated.

thanks.
