Hi

I am totally new to NetBSD, hence my questions. I have setup X succesfully and startx gets me a twm screen etc. I would like to try either KDE or GNOME as desktops but cannot set them up. Are there any reading sources of information that explain how to install the above mentioned desktop environments?

Thnx
