One of my favorite sites crashes= =20 konqueror, which wasn't a problem on kde3. I left my slower machine, which = I=20 use for e-mail, and web browsing running kde3 and play with kde4 on my syst= em=20 that can do a portupgrade -pfR kde4 in 7 hours and build OO in less than 2= =20 hours. It is running kde-4.3 now and it has been recursively rebuilt. The=20 browser crash is still there. I can use the packages of common ports to=20 update the slower machine. They are on a 4-port kvm and it is too easy to=20 simply use the machine that works the best. Kent =2D-=20 Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
