One thing I notice is if you select "KDE" during the install you get enough cups to print, but none of the command line front ends. I've helped about 20 people with this "problem". I'm not sure if a better solution is to make the "KDE" master target include the command line utilities or to just make cups into one bit port. However, as it works now it doesn't make a lot of sense. You're installing a huge windowing system but you skimp on a few hundred k of command line utilities that people expect to exist. --=20 Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org --Fba/0zbH8Xs+Fj9o Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/wO6+Nh6mMG5yMTYRAoKZAJ4w/9Qfx0R3eL/30+Esxc7+iY9CtQCcCNUr /voPSZT+TCk9IY1J8YvfMUw= =29rW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Fba/0zbH8Xs+Fj9o--
