The reason I wanted to install KDE4 in the first place is because it says this on the KDE/cygwin page:<br><br><b>This project has stopped active development to be free
for the native KDE 4 port on Windows.<br><br></b>To me, that meant to look there instead.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/28/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Andreas Pakulat</b> <<a href="mailto:apaku@gmx.de">
