> May be related to an installed GForce 970 is detected and the > install script attempts to install the Nvidia blob. What detects it? AFAIK there is no magic in pkg or FreeBSD that automatically installs one of the nvidia-driver packages. > A vanilla, first pkg added, root on zfs install: I cannot reproduce this now. xorg-minimal doesn't depend on linux_base-c6, so it shouldn't pull it in. I'm closing this, but if it's still a problem please reopen it. More information might also be helpful like the full list of packages that pkg wants to install.
