[-- Attachment #1 --] I downloaded all of the install files from about three ftp sites onto a dos partition, as well as all of the package files. My question is, where do I put these files in the \FREEBSD directory so that the sysinstall will know where kde is ?? I tried putting the kde directory in the \freebsd\ports\kde, \freebsd\packages\kde, and \freebsd\kde. With these I have tried using different index files too. I get the option in the sysinstall menus to install kde as a package or a port (depending on which index file I used) but the install always comes up with errors saying that it cannot find the files. It can some other packages when I choose "all", but ones that I don't really need. I'm not really sure where to go from here. I have all of the necessary files, but I don't know where to put them in the dos partition so that they'll actually install. FreeBSD itself and x-windows have both installed ok.. but I just need to know how to get kde running plz. I've looked in errata files, manual pages, and so forth but I can't find the information I need. Can you help me ? tdimsdale@home.com timothy@dimsdale.com [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I downloaded all of the install files from about three ftp sites onto a dos partition, as well as all of the package files.
