FreeBSD (as Linux) is a OS, while KDE is just a desktop which works fine on FreeBSD and SuSE; I'm using kde-3.5.10 and tested kde-4.x (which did not do what I expected; that's why I stay with 3.5.10 which is now unmaintained, but still compiling as a port; the OP did not say in which KDE version he used 'kinternet', but it seems that the component is not in the port; the best way would be to check in openSUSE what 'kinternet' is (i.e. where the sources come from) and check in the FreeBSD KDE project the status of a port; matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards
