It set up the config files et all so gnome is the default with startx. What is the easiest way to switch to kde (and feel free to comment on gnome vs kde -- as I am curious to how they compare). Likewise shortly after I installed 4.5-release freebsd started officially support XFree86 4.2. What is the easiest way to upgrade and is it worth upgrading? (I think XFree86 4.x has some new multi-window or virtual window support - but I'm not sure if it has anything else... I suppose this means all new packages will come compiled with 4.x).... Can the .a files co-exhist between 4.2 and 3.6 (XFree86) ? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
