+<h2>15.4.9 - Why does this port/package depend on xbase? I dont'
+want to install Xorg on my server</h2>
+
+<p>Many Ports/Packages have a no_x11 <a href="#PortsFlavors">FLAVOR</a>
+which prevents linking against graphical toolkits that you will never
+use on a console-only server. </p>
+
+<p>Sometimes, however, the package depends on some library which happens
+to be included in the xbase file set. As this isn't a very big fileset,
+the most logical thing to do is just <a href="faq4.html#AddFileSet">
+install it</a>. You don't need to install the rest of Xorg.</p>
