Hi all, I just installed FreeBSD (using a CD burned from the 5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso image) on a NEC machine with a Celeron D335. I have xorg 6.8.2 (upgraded via portupgrade) and KDE 3.3.0 (installed via Internet as binaries, with pkg_add, after upgrading xorg). I then created an .xinitrc file by copying from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit into my home directory and adding exec startkde at the beginning of the file, after the first few lines. When I type startx, xorg starts OK, but I then get "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation". Kdeinit is in /usr/local/bin and the kdelibs package is installed and recognised by pkg_info. Any idea what went wrong ? Thanks, Edward
