You didn't say what version of FreeBSD you have, but the KDE version 1 is on the 4.2 CD as a package. You can just mount your CD and use pkg_add to install KDE version 1. To get KDE2 you will have to install the ports tree. You can do that from /stand/sysinstall. Then you will probably want to use cvsup to update your poprts tree. I don't think the KDE2 port will work without that. You need all the latest patches that cvsupping will give you. Then cd /usr/ports/x11/kde2; make install clean If you want gif support you need to build qt with that first.
