Have you taken a look at the ports collection? There is a "metaport" that installs everything you need for KDE in there - it's what I used and it worked quite well. > But back to the topic of desktop managers like KDE.

I got the impression from KDE > web site that applications must be written specifically for KDE... No, no. Any software written for X will run in X, regardless of the window manager. There are applications written specifically for KDE which will only run under KDE, but you can run any X application in KDE or afterstep or FVWM... that's the whole nature of X. ================== Quote of the Day ===================== What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog. - Dwight D.
