As far as I know, GNOME doesn't really have "eye candy" the same way KDE does (there are no fading menus, bouncy transparent cursors, etc.). > How do I test gnome2-lite and kde-lite?

I think you've misunderstood what the -lite versions are. From ports/x11/gnome2-lite/pkg-descr: ____ This metaport installs the pieces of the GNOME 2 desktop that are needed to provide a functional desktop. x11/gnome2 contains the full version of the GNOME 2 desktop environment. ____ In other words, it's the same GNOME, but installing the gnome2-lite port doesn't install "extras", like games. GNOME is invoked the same way regardless of which port is used. I believe that the kde-lite port is the same. > thanks much, > > gary > > > -- > Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service > Unix -- Nick Withers email: nick@nickwithers.com Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446
