The first thing to do is copy the ports.tar.gz from your cdrom into the /usr directory on your system. Unzip that unit:

gzip -dc ports.tar.gz | tar -xvf –

After what seems like an extremely long time you have a ton of ports in just about every category there is, waiting to be downloaded and abused.

Change to the newly created /usr/ports directory and look around. Now cd into the x11/kde directory and simply type: "make install". Now go have lunch, this is going to take a while. When the make utility finishes its little magic just go back to your home (regular user) directory and create a file called ".xinitrc" (don’t forget the dot) and add the line:

startkde

Save the file and open your .profile file. Put "/usr/bin/X11R6:." at the end of your PATH. Log out. Log back in, type "startx" and kde should build you a desktop.

Congratulations. You are on your way.
