Hello Everyone. I have heard of some horror stories about installing KDE 3.1 on Redhat 8. I did a full install of RH8, so I am already running KDE. Does anyone know the exact steps to install it on a full install of Redhat8? Or maybe the easiest way? I've never updated a package this large, so I don't want to screw up my OS. Thanks.
your options include:
o waiting for RH8.1 when the 3.1 packages will be included for you
o installing a different mainstream distribution that actually provides you with what you want (e.g. SuSe or Mandrake)
o grabbing the unnoficial contributed rpms from ftp://apt.unl.edu/apt/8.0/RPMS/ and doing an rpm -Uvh on them (though you'll probably want/need to remove the Red Hat provided KDE packages first)
o using apt-get and following the instructions at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/
