Tried it a few days ago. It works ok as far as I can see. I had to run it a few times to sort out missing packages and as it takes an age each time, it prolonged the whole exercise. Even going through the readme, as a newbie, it was a bit fraught. By default it installs in the users home directory, which was fine as I didn't want to screw things up totally. However I would like to install KDE3.3.2 in the "proper" place now so it is available to all users. What would that be? I tried KDEDIR but that returns blank. I also can't see it using export.
