Where do I start? I did read the KDE page on crux website, but I had problems using the kdebase script. when I run :
# prt-get depinst --install-scripts kdebase
I receive an error that 'kdebase' could not be found.
To use collections others than installed by default you have to add a ports collection configuration file to /etc/ports. Take a look at existing ones to get an idea of how it should look. These configuration files can be found at ports database [1]. You can get the 'kde.rsync' file clicking on [2]. I suggest you to adjust it a bit to point to the 2.3 branch, which has newer ports. For an example of enabling/adding a new ports collection see [3]. To let prt-get know about a new repo also add a line like: prtdir /usr/ports/kde Do not forget to run 'ports -u' after adding new ports collections. After that you should be able to use the prt-get for installing kde. Be sure to read the /usr/ports/kde/kdebase/FAQ,README. The next thing to read would be prt-get(8),ports(8) & pkginfo(8) manual pages.
