KDE Beta2 and S.u.S.E. Linux

Applies to

KDE: Version Beta2

Symptom:

You have a S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 installed including the KDE version Beta1 that comes with the distribution. You got and installed the packages for Beta2 from the internet. Now the S.u.S.E. Features of KDE are missing.

Cause:

The S.u.S.E version of KDE Beta1 differs from the version from ftp.kde.org. These differences are minor changes and bugfixes. The changes are needed for integrating kdm After installation of the "Internet" version these features are no longer available.

We have renamed our packages to make sure there are not mistaken.

Solution:

The KDE work is still under development. We at S.u.S.E. fix and rearrange the KDE packages. Since there are many new packages a day. As these may not be stable at all we don't include every "snapshot" into our distribution but wait for stable versions.

The first official KDE packages will be available with KDE Beta3 (end of January 1998). The packages we are actually working on may be downloaded from our FTP site (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/KDE) Use at your own risc! Please have a look at the packages for making sure you got the latest version.

You may install these packages from the commandline invoking rpm as follows:

rpm -U kxxxx-xxx-xxx.rpm
(of course you have to add the real name instead of kxxx).

Please be aware that these packages might (but not have to..:-) ) be not stable and produce strange effects.
