This is true also. More and more packages have quite well-hidden dependencies on X. It is easier for the ports developers and users if X is always there. Choose to not install X at your own risk.

The trouble I've had in the past wasn't so much needing X later, but needing dependencies in the X packages later, FWIW. -- http://nacredata.com/devin

Fair enough, I didn't know the history of this. My own curiositiy, what was the struggle people had? I admit, I might be minimising the difficulty of searching via Google 'openbsd adding sets after install,' or perhaps there is some behind the scenes install bits that I've missed that do not take place when adding the set after-the-fact?

diff install.sub: if user won't be running X, skip X set ...
File modified: install.sub Problem: I commonly run OpenBSD as a VM under a Linux host to do testing of various bits, and to do builds of the stable release for my OpenBSD fw/router. The VM host infrastructure (libvirt and kvm/qemu) requires a display to view the OpenBSD console. This requirement has the downstream effect of creating a wsdisplay0 device on the VM, which causes the OpenBSD install to auto-select the X packages (xbase, xshare, etc) during package selection. This happens even if I ...

Re: security(8) setuid checks and space character in file name
I'd like that one, by far more dapper; but it does not change a thing about the abbreviated file name beeing compared and reported by join(1). Marcus

Fix for sort bug (PR 6294)
As the PR states, the following command segfaults: $ sort -t: -k1f,1 -k1 /usr/share/misc/zipcodes The PR has a rather ugly "workaround". I believe the change below is the proper fix. I think putting the check in the else-clause just before the assignment just like in the if-clause makes the code easier to read as well. ok?

Even with the current installer, we still see a number of people having problems installing packages because they don't have the necessary sets. If we changed the default, it would be much worse. Just type -x* at the sets prompt, if you're sure that's what you need.
