SO nutshell, can I upgrade my present default Gnome "Desktop" (aka: wm:) to be KDE?? Or equally, is there some magic command to install more KDE-ware? Acouple weeks ago here someone recommended "kmplayer" and the KDE browser. And, YES, it's almost like push button. The KDE CD burner is also easier to use. But the Gnome "Terminal" is much more intuitive than the KDE write of xterm. (blah, [bar] :) (I find that I have tons of KDE games, and I'm not rreally a gamer. No, I haven't a clue where the games came from.) gary > > -- > Best regards, > Chris > > BOFH excuse #158: > > Defunct processes > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
