You could try removing the kde packages & install packages instead - the FreeBSD-KDE people seem to suggest that's the prefered method for KDE. See http://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/index.html for the correct PACKAGESITE setting to use with portupgrade. Having said that, the latest ports have some more recent updates, so kdenetwork & one or two others will still need to be compliled from ports to get you fully up to date. I've found that method to work well for me & it saves a hell of a lot of compilation time! Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/imoore/imoore.asc
