firstly i do not see icewm mentioned there. its not on the contents list of the package cd. but kde should be. when you said "export PKGDIR=..." it only lasts for that session - are you now trying to install from a different user or a different [x]terminal? try putting the PKGDIR=... line in /etc/make.conf > > -- > [email protected] mailing list > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
