Assuming you've *built* the X and KDE ports, you can get KDE to start with startx by putting 'exec kde' in your ~/.xinitrc, vis: $ echo "exec startkde" > .xinitrc If you want a graphical login that will send you into KDE, see the (excellent) handbook page on XDM (although you'll probably want KDM): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html HTH - JB # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
