FreeBSD uses the ports system to provide software like KDE. This allows you to install software from binary packages and also to automatically install it from source. The latest version of the "ports tree" is independant of the latest version of FreeBSD, so you can update KDE without updating your whole system. The latest version of the ports tree contains KDE 3.0.3. See the FreeBSD handbook for more info on ports Alex On Friday 23 August 2002 2:43 pm, Anthony Abby wrote: > Has anyone ported KDE 3.0.3 to FreeBSD 4.6.2?
