Hi!
I decided to remove XFree86 from my server since I don't really use it and its just taking up space. So I removed all gui ports, including all of gnome and XFree86. Done. Now, I'm wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't just delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11? Aren't they just taking up space?
Are those directories part of the a base FreeBSD 4.x install?
These directories seem to exist on all my 4.x servers where I've never explicitly installed XFree86 or any other X system. So it's probably safer to not touch them. (/etc/X11 is empty on my machines, though).
Thanks for the comments. I have since discovered that in fact some server packages, such as ImageMagick, in fact need XFree86-libraries-4 which uses /usr/X11R6. So I just cleaned that directory of gnome as best I could, re-installed XFree86-libraries-4, and I'm leaving it at that. /etc/X11 is empty now, except for my XF86Config which I will leave there to save me the hassle of reconfiguring if I ever decide to re-enable XFree86.
Thanks for the help!
