I did a clean -current boxen from scratch over the weekend and I have=20 been able to get the following work, (some via ports others by packages) =95 Netscape =95 Mozilla =95 OpenOffice =95 XFree86 =95 many small things gaim, bash, pico, xemacs, vim, ghostview, acrobat,=20= etc However KDE compile install fails from ports, I tried an old packages=20 version of it , get installed, when I go to run it, it tanks. This=20 could just be a local issue, and I have not had time to test it more... Thats my story, and I don't always stick to it.
