Yes, you can run KDE1 or KDE2 and have both installed on the same machine, you can even start apps of one when inside the other. For people who install from source, I've described how to do this in ftp://mandrakesoft.com/pub/david/kde1-and-kde2.txt All of it might not apply when using RPMS, but you get the idea. -- David Faure [EMAIL PROTECTED] - KDE developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Mandrake [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Cramer Systems
