Yeah.. the kde stuff is pretty important. I think most
people have not noticed it since they are upgrading
packages. Luckily, I've gone through beta testing for
Solaris, so I know how it can be. Don't worry.. I'll
keep finding things to fix;)

Well I'm still playing with enlightenment. I'll try to
narrow it down some more. I might recompile it and try
to figure out at what point it fails/hangs.

I'll be returning to the fun nfs install problem in a
little while. I would not doubt that's it's more ash
brain-dead sillyness;)
