Hi there,
Thanks to excellent work of Duncan of the KDE Packaging Group
(redhat-rpms@kde.org) RPM packages for KDE-1.1 on Red Hat 5.1/5.2
on Intel architecture are available:
new features:
— The RPMS are now relocatable to install to other locations
besides the default /opt/kde
— The Applications in the “optional” collections are separated
into individual packages, so users have full control over which
subset of KDE apps they install. kpackage-1.1.2 is also
included.
— A shell script “install-kde-1.1-base” is included to handle
the installation of the base package (download it and the RPMs,
install qt-1.42 and then run “sh < install-kde-1.1-base”. Follow
instructions. after the base package (kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase)
is installed, you will be able to run “install-kde-1.1-apps” (or
even, “uninstall-kde-1.1” — unlikely, of course!)
Report any bugs in the packaging to: redhat-rpms@kde.org
The KDE Packaging Group.
Builds of these rpms on other architectures (alpha, need
volunteers to do sparc) will be available soon, as will RPMS for
RedHat 5.0 and 4.2.
Yours,
— martin

Anybody who’s comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants
to
tell other people what they should be using can go to work for
Microsoft.
