Hi Alastair, Got to the bottom of it, the path didn't seem to work when I used the absolute path ie /home/norm/temp/kde so I cd'd to /home... and used file://. and it worked perfectly ( well except for a few dependencies I had to fetch ). Now I can see what I think of KDE3.
Thanks for being so helpful. Norm
