Maybe i should have mensioned my first mistake ; i went to a mirror site of kde to retrieve the binaries, downloaded and installed the 4 files, (tried) to run it. 'ELF' binary format not recognized. Looks like i installed a linux version, which installed quite a number of files on my '/' filesystem. I couldn't even update my locate database as i was now out of space in this filesystem. Got most of it cleaned up now, and it looks like i'm in order. The point is, if you want to download packages specific to FreeBSD, trust the FreeBSD website. Geoff.
