New KDE2Alpha binaries available 01252000

[Christopher Molnar]

Hello!

I have built a new set of binary distributions based on 
a CVS snapshot at 8:00am EST 1-25-2000. I have created 
both a RPM and a -BIN.TAR.GZ distribution.

To those who have downloaded QTCOPY dated 01-19-2000 - 
You do not need to update this. Continue using the same 
qt copy. (file name qtcopy-01192000). This should save 
you some download time.

These binaries are ALPHA code so the only guarantee you 
have is that they will take up hard drive space.

Please read the README in the FTP / HTTPD directory 
before downloading anything.

These binaries are know to work on Redhat 6.1, Mandrake 
6.1, and SuSe 6.3, and I think someone got them working 
on Caldera (no idea which build). If you get them 
working on something else other than what I just 
listed, please let me know so I can add them to the 
list.

You MUST install:

Qtcopy (or leave it installed)
KDESUPPORT
KDELIBS
KDEBASE

And then whatever else you desire.

RPM - You will most likely need to use the --nodeps 
flag and the --force flags. Make sure you install qt 
copy first.

For those upgrading from my last distribution: To be 
safe you make want to:

Mv /opt/kde2 /opt/kde2.old 

Prior to doing this install. That way you still have 
your last version. Of course you can do what I do and 
just over-write it or delete it.

So, where do you find this great stuff?

ftp://nebsllc.com/kde2/current

alpha code.


I monitor the kde users list (mailto: 
kde at lists.netcentral.net) and (mailto:kde-
user at lists.netcentral.net ) if you need help. I can not 
reply to all the personal emails that I get, please 
write to the list first.
