Ok.. this is what i did to build my desktop (NetBSD-1.6P + KDE-3.1)

requirement :

memory > 256 Mb

processor > 450 Mhz

tiny window manager that could make ur box usable as long as u build the KDE , like pwm, ion (pkgsrc), or twm (already exist in netbsd base)

#cat /etc/sysctl.conf

kern.maxproc=1024

kern.maxfiles=16384

#vi /etc/mk.conf

MOTIF_TYPE?= lesstif

MOTIF\_TYPE\_DEFAULT?= lesstif

MOTIF12_TYPE?= lesstif12

MOTIF12\_TYPE\_DEFAULT?= lesstif12

#cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/lesstif12 && make install clean

note : if u wanna save ur package just replace “make install clean” with “make package clean”

now we will build KDE

#cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/kdebase3

#make install clean KDE3_NSPLUGINS=YES

then.. just sit back and relax.

Or this time to use ur secondary window manager, if u still want to work with that box.

Poor man like me don’t have multiple box ;p, so i must use this box to do my another job.

After KDE finish compiled, and get no error, do this :

(to start kde from startx command from console)

#vi .xinitrc

exec startkde

(to start kde from login manager like xdm, kdm or gdm)

#vi .xsession

exec startkde

Next..

Give Information about what kde setup want

note : sori buat orang indo yang gak paham… ini lagi latihan bahasa inggris ala bule cablak.
