Thank You very much for your time. > Tony Preface... KDE is pretty fun, I've been finding my way around it and its browser "Konqueror" for a couple days now (being very new to XFree86). FYI I donno if this helps but I installed KDE 2.2.2 from /stand/sysinstall (or using pkg_add -r) since that way the dependencies were installed too. [For the life of me I can't upgrade to 3.0.1 but that's tomorrow's headline.] From www.kde.org I learned that Qt is some kind of behind the scenes platform that is necessary for apps to run (hope I don't sound too technical here -hehe-) -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
