well.........
1. you MUST cvsup first :-)
I installed /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin and then used this sup file
*default host=cvsup.fi.FreeBSD.org <---- I'm in sweden but this is quicker
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 <--- I'm running 4.2-Stable
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all tag=.
cvsup supfile
2. pkg_version -c will provide you with a script showing what is out of date.
pkg_version on its own shows an * where multiple versions exist
check this carefully pkg_info -rR packagename is handy.
3. pib /usr/ports/sysutils/pib is quite handy for showing the requirements /
dependencies
4. pkg_delete kde and it's out of date friends... watch out for out of date
friends that are required by other packages :-(.
5. install qt22 first make QT_GIF_AVAILABLE=yes install clean
if you want gif support.
6. then install kde (close on 20 hours total on my 233mhz pentium)
7. Don't blame me if it is a disaster ...it worked for me.
8. I am pretty happy with KDE2.0........but I have to confess I still use
Excel...particulalrly for graphing.
