Thanks for your reply :)
I'll get it from the Ports, but can someone help me and tell me for example if
i wanna be using XFree86 4.x eith KDE. What ports do i need to install exactly?
I mean do I just:
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4; make install
then
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde11; make install
And that's it?
Please let me know which ones I need to install to get XFree86-4.x + KDE
Thanks,
-Nader
