Hi all,

I installed the kde 2.1 packages from the kde mirror.
I had some problems.  Namely, there is a long delay
before kde applications show up.  Another is that not
all of the kde apps start at all.  This is true for
konsole and others like noatun.  

I want kde to operate as fast on freebsd as it does on
linux; what should I do?  When I cvsup'd ports last
night and tried to build kde2.1, it died on kdebase.

My system is a 200Mhz laptop with 144M RAM.  It should
do fine with 2.1; I'm testing kde2.1 now on the same
system with RH linux and it is fast.

I'm a FreeBSD man at heart; so if I can get help
optimizing a kde2.1 build for FreeBSD it would go a
long way toward convincing my superiors to move the RH
7 boxes to a better OS.  Thanks folks...

-Nate
