That's funny - when I installed KDE from the ports tree, there was a single port which installed the entire thing with all the dependencies in order. I had no problems at all - in fact I found myself wondering what all the fuss was about when other people complained about installing KDE. I installed it over ftp - I don't know if that makes a difference. Try going to ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/x11/kde/ This is the DESCR for the meta-port: "This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-port" that depends on other KDE packages. Its sole purpose is to require dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the KDE stuff pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism." M.
