Hey all,<br><br> I just thought that you might like to know that this non hacker got kde-cygwin to work on my Windows XP. So if I can do it, so can you.<br>I'm a neo at best with Linux command line so I just copied and pasted the commands from the web page @
<a href="http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/">here</a><br>to a bash window. It didn't work at first for me either so I double checked to see if I had all the prerequired components from the cygwin setup program. I also used
<a href="http://freedownloadmanager.org">freedownloadmanager.org</a> site explorer to get some of the big ones. The setup will see the bz2 if you have it in the right place so the site explorer helped me to figure out where they go in my installers directory. It sure would be nice if someone could write a little utility to just gather what is needed to get things working. I still don't know where the ones I downloaded from the bash were first located before I unzipped them. I also found that I had a few still missing but K Desktop came up anyway. I am getting the rest now as I write this. The one thing that I need now is to somehow get firefox in there because konquerer won't work with any google personalized pages. I wanted to write in gmail there but google says no way for that browser. Perhaps someone developing for google will work on that someday.
<br> Does anyone know how to make firefox work in this kde-cygwin desktop?<br>
