The new port works well and the old one, I personally don't know here what happens to it and would be interested to know. I installed KDE-1.94 then installed the knapster port (just for frivolousness). It wanted KDE1.1.2 and a host of other stuff. It proceeded to pull it down and install it. This caused startx to start KDE 1.1.2. (Worked perfectly well) But Is there a way here to choose which version the startKDE in .xinitrc starts up? What I ended up doing was pkg_delete kdebase-1.1.2 then pkg_delete kdebase-1.94 then pkg_add kde_1.94. It worked, now I have kde1.94 (soon to be KDE 2-final if it compiles right.
