That's still a good deal of MHz more and you didn't install *everything* from scratch either - as Adriaan pointed out earlier, an update is way less stuff to build than KDE on an otherwise blank machine. > > You might want to consider using binary packages in the future. :-) > > > >From where? The Binaries are alway older than the ports. The latest packages are always in the packages-*-stable/packages-*-current directories on the ftp-mirrors. Since they're built from the same ports you use, it can take a week or two a port update to appear in binary form. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
