I found that the "ports" version of KDE was behind, but the "package" was up to date. So I went with deleting KDE and re-adding as a package. After asking a few questions, I was also advised to use a specific server, so I did the following: setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/packages/3.2.1-ports-test11/4-STABLE/Latest (export PACKAGESITE=ftp://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/packages/3.2.1-ports-test11/4-S TABLE/Latest if you're using sh/bash/zsh) and do pkg_add -r kde. Before you do that though, make sure to deinstall any previously installed packages/ports of KDE, arts and qt: pkg_delete -f quanta\* kdevelop\* kde\* arts\* qt\* I seem to recall I had to fiddle with the environment in order for it to reach the FTP site, but nothing that wasn't in the 'man' The version available today will be higher than this, as I was tinkering back in mid-March. By using the packages, I was able to delete and upgrade KDE in a matter of minutes. Good luck! -gerry
