I am currently installing kde from the ports collection on OpenBSD
3.5.
I did a make install about 14 hours ago. The install is still running.
I have a T1 connection. The system is constantly going to different
FTP sites downloading files. When it tries to download a file it
always tries EPSV. I always get the same error "EPSV Command not
understood". The download hangs and then eventually resumes as it must
fall back to a different mode. Does anyone know where I can disable
EPSV? Should I disable it? Is it normal that it takes 14 hours to
install kde? Thank you in advance.

Comes as no surprise. Took me more than that On a P3 1Ghz
machine on a cable connection.. KDE is massive, and has another
500 million dependencies to resolve/install.

How fast is your Processor?

I ran out of diskspace when making kde. Can anybody give me a hint as
to how much diskspace would be recommended for the ports directory tree?

Just another reason why you should buy a openbsd cdrom.
I bought one and installed kde from cd within less than 30 secs.

A LOT

I had made my /usr partition 10GB thinking it would be
plenty. Well, it was enough, but I had to temporarily move the src
tree and a ton of other crap over to /home make room during the build
process :\

Last time I had used KDE (about 4 years ago or so) it wasn't nearly
this huge and bloated.. Prolly would run like crap on my OpenBSD box
anyhow.

I only was building KDE on a whim, since I hadn't used it in so long.
4 days later (on a PII 350Mhz w/ 192MB RAM) it was still compiling
crap, so I gave up and went back to blackbox (which I'm writing this
from now)

Had bb up and running in a few minutes.
