If so could you explain to me how I would install it. Every time that I go to the /usr/ports/x11/... dir and try the "make" or "make install" command. It says that "kdebase11.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system" and then as I'm sure you already know it tries to download from the FTP site. I am not able to be online right now so I can't download from the FTP site. I can however download from my Windows2000 partition. So I can get the files if they aren't on the CD but I don't know how to mount my Windows2000 partition. My file system is NTFS (on the Windows2000 partition).I downloaded the iso file from one of the ftp sites. It's just disk one. Also, if you could explain to me how to mount a DOS drive. One more question, can I use an Iomega USB ZipCD-R/RW Drive with FreeBSD 4.0. If not can I rebuild the Kernal to support it? I greatly appreciate your help. P.S.
