Would ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/2006Q1/pkgsrc-2006Q1.tar.bz2 be a 
feasible file? How can I do a bootstrap then (/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap doesn't 
exist in this tar file)?

Until now, I've encountered two problems with KDE's binary packages:

1. lack off ogg support
Though I've had installed libogg and libvorbis, I was unable to play ogg files 
from KDE itself (sound notifications). Using programs to play ogg-files 
worked, though (kmplayer).

2. Kmixer couldn't be used
Kmixer seems to find no mixing device, though sound works in general.

3. Korganizer crashed mostly when adding an appointment.

I've encountered this problems on my both machines.
