If fink is doing its job, this means that its dependencies should also have been installed, one of which is xfree86 in one of its forms (xfree86-base & xfree86-rootless) or (system-xfree86). If you during install chose the first couple, this means you're set to go. See more below. If you chose the latter, it's a question of whether you have installed another distribution of xfree86 by yourself, and then pointed fink to it (which is what this option is for) -- IIRC fink checks when you chose system-xfree86 whether you have an install at all. > Now I need to run XDarwin...

Xdarwin is the only way to go, and as i hinted above, fink should have made sure that you already have that. You should have an app at /Applications/Xdarwin already (which, given that all the rest is ok, when launched should throw you into KDE). So, you should only have to pay time, patience and bandwidth for a full and functioning KDE install on OS X/Darwin. -- Oscar Erlandsson Erlandsson at mac dot com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek We have stuff for geeks like you. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
