But I have run into this problem. After installing many of the ports successfully (without errors) I can't seem to be able to get them to start in gnome kde etc. except for a few like like abiword. How can I learn how to start these apps or any app once installed? In other words how can I learn the app executing commands for ports etc. I know some of these like mozilla, linux-mozilla are easy but some like ymessenger, amsn, jabber-msn, etc I am not able to start. I receive no messages/errors during installation so I assume that everything went well. I have looked in the README.html files but they provide little or no info on how to install or execute etc. FYI these apps do not show up in KDE or GNOME apps menue. I normally use the terminal to run or run menue in kde or gnome ( by typing abiword or mozilla, netscape7) Will appreciate any response. Juan
