+
+      <para><application>Konqueror</application> is the key application of the <application>K Desktop Environment</application>. It serves as a Webbrowser, Filemanager and documents viewer.
+      Although it is integrated in <application>KDE</application> it can be used as
+      a standalone application. It is a HTML 4.01 compliant Webbrowser, with support for
+      CSS, Javascript and Plugins for Java, Flash and SSL. Like Mozilla it comes with Tabs
+      for browsing. 
+      Konqueror is also a universal viewing application, able to display images and 
+      documents without having to launch another application.
+      It allows you to do local and remote network file browsing, and applications 
+      may be launched with a click.</para>
+
+     <para>To install <application>Konqueror</application> you have to 
+     install this port:</para>

+      <application>Konqueror</application>-pendant in the GNOME-World - allows you to
+      manage your files and folders, or browse your LAN through Samba and NFS. 
+      The left part of the window features a <application>Mozilla</application>-style

+      which can be used as a standalone application. It features bookmarks to create
+      virtual directories with local files and remote SMB network files or shares. The 
+      filemanager is able to mount and unmount <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> entries.
+      There is also support for thrashbins.</para>

+      <para>While other filemanagers are sometimes a bit ponderous, this one is
+      fast and lightweight. It features a powerful expression-based find feature,
+      a pop-up minibuffer allows navigating the filesystem using shell-style tab 
+      completion. Like xfce4-fm it is also able to mount and unmount filesystems.
