What are my options? i'm not sure if htere is another option, but you can install just the X11 libraries, and you should be able to get emacs off the ground. this ought to do it: wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.16/FreeBSD/XFree86/2.1.0-RELEASE/XF86312/X312bin.tgz if you really need the space, you might ldd emacs and see which of the libs it really needs. you can also get rid of the binaries, of course, if you don't need them. --steve farrell
