A few weeks back into newbie group I asked how to about ymessenger. I got both this: cd /usr/ports/net/ymessenger make install clean That should do it! Jolok and cd /usr/ports make search name=ymessenger cd /usr/ports/path/to/ymessenger make install clean Fire up KDE. Create an icon for /usr/local/bin/ymessenger or just use the Run... dialog. so, here's where I am stuck. How do I start the program. I hate to think that Microshaft has spoiled me, like, where is the icon?. Not funny. but how do I start the program? what if I want to run it from xwindows or run from KDE3. Can someone point me in the right direction and also tell me what to do to start the program. I will learn, but I guess I am just a little dense sometimes. Thanks in advance. Has anyody else ever been here? Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
