This is a repeat of something I posted a few days ago ...
I'm now using 7.0-2 updated with lots of cooker stuff and it still works
for me.
For those having difficulties running KDE2-alphas and KDE1, here
are the scripts I used on my Mandrake 7.0 machine. There are probably
many other ways, but this works for me ...
