Peter, I've never used pkg_add, nor have I ever let KDE touch my FreeBSD boxen, so I don't know what's wrong with that. As for the yp.conf: it says: "When using NIS". Make that "If you use NIS", is that better? If you don't use it, odds are there's even no yp.conf in /compat/linux/etc/. and if there's one, it's completely benign: a config file that's not used can't do any harm. personally, I would just % su -m % cd /usr/ports && make update % cd ./audio/agbrowser && make install clean -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 10:43AM up 8 days, 21:02, 11 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.03, 0.01 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
