It's a small price though. > Hi David, I have been wondering about that, I don't particularly like KDE but I do like the apps that come with it, have used the address book and calendar for a long time and both of the editors, the cd player, well you get the idea, but I do this all just on top of Icewm, and just on Linux so far, just getting started with FreeBSD, and hope to migrate to it completely by the end of the year. I really would like to try Kword the word processor that is supposed to be in the Koffice suite, but don't really want to load the full KDE install unless I have to, since I won't use it. Any idea of just how much a fellow would have to install to get the apps up and running? -- >Lute< Hey! It happens. Well it does...
