wanting to pkg_add KDE/Gnome post-install

[Torben Brosten]

My error was in using pkg_add -r to load a port.  Apparently, pkg_add loads 
compiled versions only (right?). Anyway, I should have been cd'ing to the 
particular port, then 'make install clean'.

Since I had previously followed the handbook regarding the makeworld/kernel 
process to take a 4-6-release disk to 4-stable (currently 4-8-stable), all the 
sources were loaded and the ports were previously installed. This made the 
package/port loading fairly quick.

Thanks to Joshua Lokken for pointing out my procedural error.

cheers,

Torben
