> Hello folks:

> Congratulations on KDE3!!!

> Looks great, and I'm pleased to say that it runs much better on Windows
> Me than KDE2 did.  I know this isn't targeted for Windows 95/98/Me
> but it works there (mostly).


> First, I want to say that I would like to help out some in any way I

> So congrats again on an awesome port so far.  I want to say that KDE2
> (and Cygwin & XFree/Cygwin) is one of the things that really got me
> interested in Open Source in the first place.  Months later now, I use
> Linux about half the time, and KDE is still my desktop of choice there-
> so thanks for the contribution you guys are making towards a lot of
> people out there getting exposed to alternative.

> I've experienced just a couple issues so far with the startkde.bat

>
> In startkde.bat script maybe change $USERNAME to $USER to find the ~
> directory?
>
> I didn't have a $CYGWIN_ROOT defined beforehand (possibly due to how
> Windows Me is interpreting the environment variable stuff in the
> regisrtry) so I needed to define it as a system-wide environment
> variable to use the startkde.bat successfully.

Please try the startkde_small.bat.txt at
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cygwin&m=105127083028708&w=2. May be this help.

> Saw a couple other things, but will research more before posting.
> Again, feel free to give me a couple things to work on- I won't have
> *that* much time, since I'm working full-time now.
>
> Thanks again!
