Probably a fair comment. I can't imagine why anybody would now want to build an old version of kde (and the same is true for most other desktop packages). If Bish really wants to use 3.4, the versions in 3.4.3 probably build with the same instructions. There are some patches for 3.4.3 in ftp.kde.org/pub/kde_security_patches/ (history suggests these won't all use -p1 when you apply them). Most people will be better served by building the current kde (3.5.5) - use the instructions for whichever version of the 3.5 series is in the svn book. Mostly, kde dependencies on external libraries don't require a specific version (dbus/hal is probably an exception) so you probably don't need to rebuild any libraries you've already built from the 6.1 book. Except for security issues, of course (off the top of my head, libtiff and openssl).
