Configuring PPP is usually as simple as editing /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, editing the "set device ...", "set phone ...", "set authname ..." and "set authkey ..." lines. And then running the ppp(1) program to see what happens. If you've got the ports system installed (and you've got Internet connectivity), you can build KDE by: cd /usr/ports/x11/kde2 make make install >and put netscape ( i got it on rpm only) so i can go > on the web, do cvs, chech for native versions as u said etc... To install netscape: cd /usr/ports/www/netscape47-communicator make make install -- Jonathan Chen | To do is to be -- Nietzsche | To be is to do -- Sartre | Scooby do be do -- Scooby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
