This is not a kde question. I have a list of what kde needs to install to work from the documentation. What i am looking for is a way to check to see what is installed and what is installed and running on my system so i can make the kde install with out any problems. What commands do I need to check out what version qt or xfree86 if any I'm using and what is the best way to upgrade packages if they are not the latest? Some stuff is installed buy default or as a dependency of something else and so i need to find out what is there. some thing show up in ps and some don't ( I think ). I have used the make files in the ports collection before but it always disturbs me that I have no real idea what they will do or what they did when I run them. I man make and it doesn't really help me understand the the process very well. I look at the online documentation and the handbook and some of it helps buti can't find some thing that doesn't assume I know things I don't.
