<pre wrap="">Hi All,
I tried to download (only download) KDE by using Windows installer
version 0.9.6 on Windows 2000 but after getting list of files the
installer didn't show my any application in packages list. I tried to
use both types End-user and Packager but nothing changed! I tried to
change compiler package MinGW, MinGW4 and VS but nothing changed too!!!!
what's wrong?

<pre wrap=""><!---->I just run installer version 0.9.6-4, choosed download only, choosed an
install root and a temporary folder, choosed the proxy type and
selected <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/">http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/</a> as
download source. Then I saw a list of several stable and unstable
release. I selected stable latest and saw a list of packages in end user
and package manager mode.

<pre wrap=""><!---->I'm not sure, what you mean with "its configuration" - are you refering to
1. the main installer config in %APPDAT%/kde/installer.ini
2. the install root related config in <install-root>/etc/installer.ini
3. the package related file lists (mft) located in <install-root>/manifest/
4. the main package configuration (config.txt) located on specific
release dir of a download server ?
</pre>

I mean all of them. I think it's better to store all the configurations
in a single database, thus the installer will be more stable for
portability because I suffer a lot when I download KDE from coffee net
then install it in my home PC. The current installer depending on
absolute paths stored in flat text files.<br>
