Hi everybody,
My issue is the following: As far as I know, FreeBSD has completely dropped support for KDE 3.5. Whether it's the ports, or the pkg_add precompiled binaries. Am I right in assuming this? I am currently running a live version of FreeBSD 8.2 with KDE 4.8. The thing here is, that KDE 4 is simply too heavy for my system. For example: it is impossible for me to have two open shells at the same time. Once I exit a given shell, I can't open another one due to a lack of resources, even after having turned off all the extra stuff - plasma desktop, nepomuk... As a consequence, I can see myself do two possible things, to have a system running with KDE 3.5 once again: 1. Go back to an older release of FreeBSD and install KDE 3.5 from the precompiled binaries that are on the DVD donwload version. Judging by the release announcements, this should be 7.1. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html This is something that I don't really feel like doing. 2. To be honest, I am quite happy with 8.2 and I would like to keep it for some time to come. In other words, is there a way to keep 8.2 and still have KDE 3.5 along with it? For example has anyone ever tried to install a 7.1 pre-built package (KDE 3.5 in this case) on an 8.2 system? Is that be possible? Any other solutions?
