>Description:
Handbook advertises that
pkg_add -r gnome2
and
pkg_add -r kde
should install Gnome and KDE respectively.

None of these work, ex:
# pkg_add -r kde
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/kde.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/kde.tbz' by URL

----
It's very convenient to have basic packages precompiled since compiling of ex. KDE takes forever.
