If you're running KDE as root, then yes, since KDE will create a .kde file in user's home directory (for root, it's /) to store user preferences and whatnot. You really shouldn't be using the root account as your day-to-day account. Create a normal user account for youself and use it instead of the root account. Normal user accounts are in /usr/home, so your .kde directory won't eat up space on /. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
