(Some of this may be due to my familiarity with rpm.) What finally worked was to "make deinstall," then pkg_add -f the KDE 1.0 packages. After a reboot, things started working again. Kdehelp even works. :-) Thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
