It's not a question of needing to do it (it's a fairly new
drive).  It's more a question of, since it's there, why
doesn't it work in my case, and what can I do to change
that (if anything).

That's what I figured (in a sense).  But why isn't there a notice
stating that for a CD-Rom install, the user who wants to run KDE
(this IS the default, isn't it?) will need to get QT from the net?

Also, I mentionned pgp262 and rsaref.  I'm pretty sure I can get
pgp2.6.2 from the net, but I have no clue where to find rsaref.
Chances are they aren't on the CD's either (encryption export
restriction) so I'll have to get both of them from the net also.
I know they have pgp5.0i on the FreeBSD site.  I'm not sure
which of the packages required these two programs, but I know
there were many.  Why not leave a notice in the package 
installation program that says that these packages can't be
placed on CD and have to be downloaded separately?  It
would just be a lot easier for a first time installer to quickly
understand what's not working and why, and how to fix it.

Sorry if this message is formatted strangely, I still haven't
figured out how to make Outlook behave (and I can't use
Netscape to read MS Mailboxes...)

Thanks for your help!
