To Will and the other flamers who sent me all the nastygrams: This kind of attitude is fine when you are supporting a hobby or pet project, but not a supposedly serious and competitive OS like FreeBSD. Critical pieces of the OS like KDE should be taken more seriously than the other ports. If not, then FreeBSD will continue to linger behind in Linus' shadow. RPMS for KDE 2.0.1 were available within hours of the release. This issue is bigger than one port, or even KDE, so don't get sidetracked. It's the attitude man. You're certainly not doing FreeBSD any favors with it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
