Mark, I'm not the original posted, but THANK YOU! I found all of the below info in the mailing list archives about a month ago, except for what exactly had to go in the rc file. Mine was blank just as you had described, and I just gave up on it for the time being. I wonder if the maintainer of the port should print some kind of message at the end of a 'make install' to this effect, or if it could be put in a FAQ somewhere. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Ovens [SMTP:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org] > Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 1999 4:07 PM > To: Luis Rios > Cc: 'questions@freebsd.org' > Subject: Re: KSCD... > > On Tue, Sep 21, 1999 at 02:57:11PM -0400, Luis Rios wrote: > > I've just recently installed FreeBSD3.2 on a pentium 166 with 64M of ram > > along with KDE.
