Someone should have that for a .sig. | | Well Marcia, | My 4.5 install is not what you my call a pure install. | Many KDE packages were not on the cd set. All I could install from the set | was the bare minimum. I had to rip kppp form the 4.4 iso. The install | compained a bit but it did do it. I did this from /stand/sysinstall. | I managed to download kmultimedia2 and it seems to work fine. So do the | games and utilities, I think I took these from the 4.4 iso. Having tried | to download kdevelop and kmymoney2 they both failed. Could it be they are | dependant on something I don't have installed. BTW when I was running the | 4.4 iso installation i had installed kdevleop and it seemed to work for a | while. I am not a programmer so I can't really comment on its worthyness. | What I would like to try is get all things new KDE and start fresh. What do | you think? Should I rip everything KDE out and do a fresh install or could | I install on top of what I have now? | Is it possible that this is a problem with the package install of KDE? I believe I installed KDE from the CDs as well (it's been a while and I didn't keep notes on it). It might be worth your while to try uninstalling the packaged KDE and try installing her from the ports. Unless someone has a better solution. (I am not sure, will this also wipe KDE preferences files? Does it really matter? hmmm... I may try this later today, while I'm doing something else. If I do, I'll let you know.)
