ANNOUNCE: KDE Beta Binaries available 2000-05-10

[Christopher Molnar]

  A new version of the KDE BETA 1 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 10 Apr
  2000 at 12:00am 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. If you
  do not use the package from here you need to compile jpeg support into QT.  
  This is not turned on by default in the release packages.

  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

  ftp://mandrakesoft.com/pub/molnarc

  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 7.1
  machine. They have also been reported to work on all
  other distributions.

  The rpm's are built with Mandrake 7.1. 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.
