Ok, Rob you guessed right.  What I still try to do is to compile KDE for
RiscBSD. I had some little progress the last weeks and when I had a look
at /etc/rc.local I found to my surprise that RiscBSD is looking for it at
startup. But in case of not finding it there is no errormessage. so I
didn't know.  But this made me think there could be a port for NetBSD
around. This seems to be right to ports of NetBSD for others processors.
I've got the sources for it from a Linux archive, but I can't compile it
because there's some assemblercode inside for ix86, m68k, etc., but not
for arm processors.
 I know what ldconfig does, and I even know there are no shared libs for
RiscBSD at the moment (but I might be wrong).

So I'll have to wait for the next release of RiscBSD, an maybe KDE has
moved from alpha to beta stage. It would be nice to have it for RiscBSD.

Bye, and sorry for my bad english.
