Hey, I once tried to do a pure make kde2 from the ports and it took more than a day on a 300 Mhz. Granted it was a 56k modem, but at least 80% of the time was in the compile. I gave up and used the CD's. When you look at the gnome philosophy, which is having a bazillion g-apps written by everyone and their cousin all interlocking in even more bizarre ways (relative to the more central kde, which is baroque enough) -- well hats off to all of you doing the compiles. Perhaps the team should consider a gports of gdeps or something to keep track of it all. (FLAME ON) the biggest linux-ism (I'd say GNU-ism, but I'm not sure GNU would have done it this way) I encounter in day to day life is the lack of rhyme or reason to the packages, which is why you need a redhat or a suse to sort through them. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
