[Was: What to do with KDE....] Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 18:15:27 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I wondered why those other files only created Directories.... I went along to the KDE site and this time it didn't moan about having 200 Users already logged on which was the reason I went to the FreeBSD site anyway.... I have know downloaded the Files : kdebase-beta4-1_src_tar.bz2 - Around 2.28Mb kdesupport-beta4-1_src_tar.bz2 - Around 750K kdelibs-beta4-1_src_tar.bz2 - Around 640k I definetely have the right files the sizes may be a tad wrong but thats because I am working on the assumption that my memory actually works..... Now when I try to unTar them I get the message about them not being GZIP when I use TAR xvfz and a message like 'Hmmm, Doesn't look like a TAR file' when I use TAR xvf , I am taking a wild guess and thinking that I need the thing mentioned on the FTP page (bzip2 or somethin ?). After I get this what is the EXACT steps I need to take to make sure KDE actually works... So far I have been told that I need to Extract make make install Is this right ??
