As kde is dependend on e.g. dbus as well, does that mean that in the future kde (kde4) will move to /usr as well?

The same is valid in think for kde (see above). Does this mean that kde(4) will be located in /usr in the future as well? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
