However, after much research I decided I want to install KDE 3.2.2. My options are upgrade KDE or reinstall my whole system. I do not wish to do the latter. I found some instructions on upgrading KDE on the freebsd.kde.org website. However, the two options given are use portupgrade to upgrade (as far as I can tell this command is only in FBSD 5.1 and I have 4.9) or uninstall KDE and reinstall. I updated my ports using CVSup and tried to do a make install clean however it tried to install 3.1.4. I am assuming I simply upgraded myself back to the same stuff that I installed during the installation of FBSD. Second is to uninstall KDE and then do a “make install clean”. Again, I will still only get to 3.1.4 as far as I can tell that is what is in my /usr/ports/x11/kde3 directory. I have located and downloaded a 3.2.2 tarball (is this a package file? The site says something about a package site. Can anyone clear up what that is and where I am supposed to stick that url in) from rabarber.fruitsalad.org but have no clue where to go from here. My questions here are a few parts. One by looking at my CVSup file bellow can you tell me what the heck I did? Are my ports, src, docs and what ever that third option is up to date or are they only up to 4.9 ports, src, docs, and cvsroot-all (what is cvsroot-all) *default host=cvsup5.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr/ports *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. *default compress ## Main Source Tree. # # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "src-*" collections. src-all ## Ports Collection. # # The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "ports-*" # collections, ports-all ## Documentation # # The easiest way to get the doc tree is to use the "doc-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "doc-*" # collections, doc-all ## CVSROOT control files # # This is to get the control files that cvs(1) needs and the commit logs. cvsroot-all Two can I use CVSup to update my system to KDE 3.2.2 or update my system and run a pkg_add or something. Last but not lease if I just have to remove KDE and reinstall. HOW? I do not know how to remove KDE. I have tried pkg_delete but must in the wrong directory when running the pkg_delete command. I have read the handbook and that did not help. I googled with no decent results. The handbook has helped in the past but not here. Thank you, Joshua Lewis
