(Fwd) ANNOUNCE: New Redhat RPMS availableAll rpms (alpha, 4.2
Dear KDE Enthusiasts,
thanks to the excellent work of the KDE Packager Team I am proud to
announce the availability of new improved binary RPM packages for RedHat
at
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1/distribution/rpm
They will be firstly available from
ftp://ftp.de.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1/distribution/rpm
currently available:
-- RedHat 5.1/5.2 for i386 and alpha architectures. ("rh5x" rpms)
-- RedHat 5.0 (compiled with egcs) for i386 ("rh50egcs" rpms)
-- RedHat 4.2 for i386 ("rh42" rpms)
Installation problems with the initial KDE-1.1 "rh5x" i386 rpms have been
corrected.
KDE optional applications are available as indidividual RPM packages, but
can also be found in one large "kde-applications-1.1" RPM package (~9MB)
which is just an outer container for the individual RPM's. This format
may be more convenient for some users.
Revised installation scripts and docs are provided by a new package:
kde-installer-1.1.
The other packages are:
kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase, kde-applications.
All packages except kde-installer are relocatable (can be installed to
locations other than /opt/kde , if desired.).
This option is offered by the installation script.
Please send failure/success messages to redhat-rpms@kde.org
Yours,

Anybody who's comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants to
tell other people what they should be using can go to work for Microsoft.
Regards,
