I wondered why those other files only created Directories....

I went along to the KDE site and this time it didn't moan about having 200
Users already logged on which was the reason I went to the FreeBSD site
anyway....

I have know downloaded the Files :

kdebase-beta4-1_src_tar.bz2 - Around 2.28Mb
kdesupport-beta4-1_src_tar.bz2 - Around 750K
kdelibs-beta4-1_src_tar.bz2 - Around 640k

I definetely have the right files the sizes may be a tad wrong but thats
because I am working on the assumption that my memory actually works.....

Now when I try to unTar them I get the message about them not being GZIP
when I use TAR xvfz <file> and a message like 'Hmmm, Doesn't look like a TAR
file' when I use TAR xvf <file>, I am taking a wild guess and thinking that
I need the thing mentioned on the FTP page (bzip2 or somethin ?).

After I get this what is the EXACT steps I need to take to make sure KDE
actually works... So far I have been told that I need to

Extract
make
make install

Is this right ??

C-Ya Soon
