I know there are 3 ways to install packages in PC-BSD.

1. appCafe
2. pkg_add
3. ports

I chose option 2 but got a lot of 'pkg_add: warning: package
'kde4-4.6.5' requires 'py27-cups-1.9.59', but 'py27-cups-1.9.60' is
installed' errors.

Questions,
1. how to deal with these errors?
2. what's a better to install KDE for a beginner.

Thanks.

Hello..

I must assume you are working with v9.0 since v8.2 is KDE-centric :)

It is a very simple matter to add or remove a desktop, such as KDE within v9.0:

Go to the PC-BSD control panel -> System Manager, select System Packages tab, then choose KDE within the 'Desktops' group.

It is possible to initiate the System Manager GUI from the commandline with: pc-sysmanager

CAVEAT **WARNING**

Adding/removing a PC-BSD package within System Manager will also have a side-effect of removal of any installed FreeBSD Ports or Packages.

Hope you enjoy your time with PC-BSD!
