<DIV>In fact the kde installer is perfect ... you just have to run it like
another windows application...</DIV>

<DIV>But not the cygwin one... (I mean at the moment..)</DIV>

I'm not a programmer, and I have run a couple of versions of Linux, I

Win32 base to run the KDE desktop on.<BR>> Honestly, having Open Source
(or even a 2nd retail vendor) replacements for<BR>> every component of
Windows is a great idea. What I don't get is why you have<BR>> to install
all these Linux Libraries (from a tarball, of all things) first,<BR>>
unless this project is just getting started.<BR>> <BR>> If the goal is
to get the Windoze crowd to use the KDE desktop instead of<BR>> Uncle

and<BR>> library installs.<BR><BR>this is exactly the way we tried with
the kde3 setup.exe installer.<BR><BR>Ralf
