Re: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1
That is what I make by putting together announcements made by Mandrake insiders on linuxtoday and stories on mandrakeforum.

RE: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1
Or better yet, according to the developers there will be 2.01 out in 4-5 weeks. Unbelievable. I don't understand why they didn't yet hold off on kde2 until then -Original Message- From: Buchan Milne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 7:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1 Why don't you just wait another 5 days for mdk7.2 to come out, and use the new rpm and menu from there (which won't be compiled with glibc2.96).

RE: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1
Install the tar files. I rpm -e every kde1.1.x file, and compiled kde2 with no problem. I agree that it wasn't the best of moves to compile kde2 against 7.2 beta. Not a whole lot of us install the beta of linux. -Original Message- From: Praedor Tempus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2000 7:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1 Aravind Sadagopan wrote: Can anybody tell me what are the packages to be installed to upgrade my Mandrake 7.1 system to support kde2..Any pointers are lso welcome Heh, heh.

RE: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1
There are a bunch: htdig, pam, qt-2.2.1, openssl, menu, mandrake_desk, bzip2, rpm-3.0.5 (at least for rc2, you may need 4.0 since mandrake built their rpms againist 7.2 beta), I know there are more, but there is a good start. I ended up rpm -e all kde 1.1.2 files and installing the tar files for rc2. I havent had a chance to install the rpm's (or try) from mandrake for kde2 final. I figure I will have to install the tar files again. I Don't know if this site is still a valid one for installation since kde2 has gone final but you could check: http://virtualartisans.com/linux/mandrake/ -Original Message- From: Aravind Sadagopan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2000 4:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1 Can anybody tell me what are the packages to be installed to upgrade my Mandrake 7.1 system to support kde2..Any pointers are lso welcome Cheers Aravind S Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Re: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1
Check ftp.kde.org. all the file you need are located there. I personally needed upgrade from pam-07.2-9 to pam-0.72-12 because otherwise kdm does not allow logins anymore (that is a little bit anoying).
