I'm in the process of downloading 2.2.2 and building new qt packages for both potato and woody..

I've noticed that it only works (on my sytems) the first time around...after that you must already have a kfmclient loaded... > I am actually building KDE2 on two separate computers (it requires 4 hours > on the Athlon 600 and 17 hours on the pentium-133).

I'm not sure...the patch contains a bunch of i18n updates that may or many not work with 2.2.2 > Ivan, that is a good start to the web site.

I'm working on that... :) It's a high priority as I download the 50+megs of updates + 8 megs of 2.2.2 qt and 12 megs of qt-embedded which I need to build on 2 i386 systems (potato/woody) and a sparc woody system. :) Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
