I tend to prefer funtionality over worrying about a default appearance. =20 http://www.kde-look.org if "it's ugly" was the only complaint you had. > So my questions are these: > > 1) How can I install kdepim/korganizer from ports originally, but then > continue to compile from source to keep current?

The ports collection is updated generally the same day the official release= is=20 made (this is true for both KDE and GNOME, and many many other applications= ,=20 less true for others. In a very broad generalisation, the bigger and more= =20 visible the project, the sooner the ports get updated.) KDE 3.1, for=20 example, has been in the ports for a few weeks now. You have no need to compile from sources to keep current, what you need to = do=20 is: a: read the handbook and learn about cvsup and the ports collection b: install sysutils/portupgrade, read it's man pages thoroughly, and use it= to=20 keep your system up to date. > 2) Does anyone know why gnomepim wouldn't install?

Remove it (it'll be in=20 /usr/ports/distfiles/gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.bz2) and try again. It'll probabl= y=20 work even better if you follow points a and b above.
