This already works. I installed kde1.1 last week on a brand new machine like this. > Second, all the KDE stuff should be 'centralized'...create an x11-kde > directory...give one place to go to to build it.

From the description of x11/kde11: "This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-port" that depends on other KDE packages. Its sole purpose is to require dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the KDE stuff pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism." Check out x11/gnome-99.3. It's the same way. Just a a "heads up". -Bill -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, brain, I don't like you and you don't like me - so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. --Homer Simpson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
