Has little more features, but you need qt/kdelibs (little overweight only for kdm), so it only makes sense when you also use kde. Sorry, not much knowledge about gnome. Regards, Tom Ah, from `man pkg_add` I find: The environment variable PACKAGESITE specifies an alternate location for pkg_add to fetch from. This variable subverts the automatic directory logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked. Thus it should be a complete URL to the remote package file(s). It seems the "setenv" method can be used as needed, that is, once done you may unsetenv the variable. As far as kdm, by "qt" do you mean (choke, ack, barf) QuickTime? :( -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
