ANNOUNCE: KDE Alpha Binaries available 2000-05-05

[Christopher Molnar]

 YES! Thanks to a generous space donation we are still here! Please thank
 MandrakeSoft for their server space to make these available!

 A new version of the KDE ALPHA binaries are available 
 at nebsllc.com.  Please read the README file in the 
 same directory. Just in case you missed it "READ THE README" prior to 
 doing anything!
 
 These binaries are built from CVS as of 05 Apr 
 2000 at 12:00pm Eastern Standard Time (-0500).
 
 Please bring all install questions to the un-official 
 kde-alpha list at kde-alpha-request at nebsllc.com.
 
 Qt version 2.1.0 has been released. These binaries where built with the 
 release package. You can get it here, or you can get it elsewhere, but
 you will need to upgrade. DEVELOPERS: the new QTDIR is /usr/lib/qt2.
 
 When you upgrade plese consider copying your old /opt/kde2 to an
 /opt/kde2.old directory and then installing. This way you have something
 to go back to.

 These files are available via ftp from:
 
 ftp://ftp.nebsllc.com/kde2 (only -bin.tar.bz2's and rpm's) -being
 uploaded now
 
 or via http at:
 
 http://www.nebsllc.com (follow links for kde2 Alpha 
 binaries)

 You will also be able to find these at (after a few days):
 
 http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697
 
 The installs have been tested by me on a Mandrake 7.0 
 machine. They have also been reported to work on all 
 other distributions.
 
 The rpm's are built with Mandrake 7.0. If you are not running the 
 most recent version of rpm, I would suggest
 an upgrade. You will need to do a --force and a --nodeps on the rpm 
 installs.
 
 If you are running prior Alpha's I highly recommend you 
 update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural 
 changes in the packages. 
 
 You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same 
 directory.
