Hello atk2! For first way you can use this method kindly given by Steve Brown <freebsd@prayforwind.com>: > As root goto /usr/ports/x11-wm/<preferred-windowmanager> and "make && make > install". > > Now, users can create or edit /home/<userID>/.xinitrc . > Change the line which says "exec twm" to say "exec <preferred-windowmanager>" > > If it's one of the full environments (like KDE), change it to say "startkde" > instead. Here's mine as an example: > > $ more .xinitrc > xscreensaver & > xearth -nomarker -wait 30 & > # exec twm > # exec afterstep > startxfce > # startkde > $ Andrew aka AMI ----- Original Message ----- From: <atk2@arctic.org> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 5:39 PM Subject: Easiest way to go from Gnome -> Kde > When I installed (a few weeks ago) 4.5-release it queried me if I wanted > Gnome (which I installed).
