Set XWin32 to use a single window. I connected with /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm Once connected, I typed 'enlightenment &' ( without the '' ) You would run 'kde &' ( again, without the '' ) .. ( at least that's what I think you would do, I don't use KDE ) I now have Enlightenment running on Win2000. XWin32 can be found here: http://www.starnet.com/ The software costs around $250.00 USD. There is a 30 day demo if you want to try it out. Hope that helps, Thanatos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
