<br>1. Download the packages for your platform (IA32AMD32).<br>2. The packages are archived and compressed as *.tar.bz2.<br>3. The files ending in *.md5 are the MD5 checksums for the respective<br>packages (you can check this way if the package you downloaded is
<br>indeed the one i uploaded).<br>4. Uncompress the package (bunzip2 <package-name>.tar.bz2)<br>5. Un-tar the package (tar xvf <package-name>.tar).<br>6. At this point you'll have the old tar archive <package-name>.tar
<br>and the package per se.<br>7. install the package with:<br>%> pkgadd -d `pwd` <package-name> # backticks not single quote<br>(you must be root to do this, since the packages install under /opt,<br>which is usually owned by root).
<br>8. If the package installed correctly (which it should), you can<br>remove the archive of the package.<br>9. Repeat with the next package, until you have installed all of them.<br><br>The preferred order of installing these packages is:
<br><br>KDEkderequired-343<br>KDEqt-334<br>KDEpinentry-072-343<br><br>If you are missing the libsunmath.so.1 libraries<br>(under /usr/lib/libsunmath.so.1 and /usr/lib/amd64/libsunmath.so.1),<br>you should also install<br>
<br>KDEkderuntime-343 (this package installs these libraries).<br><br>If you also want, you can install KDEblender-237a at this point. These<br>packages are part of the "required" package bundle. Without these,<br>
KDE simply will not work at all.<br><br>Now, you are ready to install KDE 3.4.3 proper. You should install<br>these packages first, in this order:<br><br>KDEkdearts-343<br>KDEkdelibs-343<br>KDEkdebase-343<br>KDEkdenetwork-343
<br>KDEkdepim-343<br>KDEkdemultimedia-343<br><br>After this, you can install the packages in any order you like, it<br>does not really matter. I would recommend you install everything,<br>because there are many inter-dependencies, and, because if you skip a
<br>package, you will miss that functionality.<br><br>After you are done installing the packages, there are some patches to<br>be installed (which were released after the 3.4.3 distro), in the<br>following order:<br><br>KDE20060107-01
<br>KDE20060107-02<br>KDE20060110-01<br>KDE20060116-01<br>KDE20060131-01<br>KDE20060131-02<br>KDE20060207-01<br><br>The patches are archived and compressed exactly like the KDE packages<br>(*.tar.bz2).<br><br>You can install these patches with
<br><br>%> patchadd -M `pwd` <patch-package> # backticks, not single quote<br><br>pkgadd and patchadd live in /usr/sbin. You should make sure /usr/sbin<br>is in root's path.<br><br>After installing all the patches, the installation is finished.
<br>Obviously, you don't need to keep the packages or patches after you<br>have installed them. Now you can proceed to the configuration. To do<br>this, please read the installation instructions (there are quite a<br>few of them, there are some configuration files which need to be
<br>edited, and there is a small program named 'mkdtlogin' which needs to<br>be run, and which creates your dtlogin session menu for KDE). Please<br>read these instructions carefully. :-)<br><br>You can download the 3.4.3

<br><br>This is just an example where you can find KDE 3.4.3. If you search in<br>Google for 'KDE 3.4.3 Solaris', you will get many more sites where<br>you can find the distro.<br><br>If you run into problems, or have questions, just email me directly.

I unpacked the archive, but I can't see any package files. Only
directories with sources. Where are the package files? What do I do
next?<br>
