er... although it's better than what the KDE people suggest, that doesn't
work so good. when you try to upgrade rpm and menu, there are more
dependencies that you have to deal with, glibc, libc.so.6, and getting rid
of rpm-python and rpm-devel. Unfortunately, if you've already removed qt2
apps you're stuck with a gnorpm which, at least in 7.2 beta 3, is buggy.
I am going to try installing the beta without any development files and then
follow this guy's directions...

: H Chris,
:
: I do not know why people complain about too many dependencies when they
: install KDE2 on Mandrake 7.1. It is not too bad.
: I do like this:
: From konsole or from Gnome (terminal) I do "urpme qt" (for KDE 1.1.2)
or/and urpme qt2
: if there was a previous KDE2beta install, to remove all packages that
depends on qt. Then I delete all .kde folders & files, (in home & /etc/skel
directories) as well as /usr/share/apps, /usr/share/applink
: & /usr/share/config folders.
: Then I install (& upgrade) bzip, openssl, alsalib, rpm, htdig, lesstif,
xinitrc, menu, menudrake &
: mandrake_desk packages (10 small packages -that's it).
: Next is qt2.
: After that, I have experienced that is extremelly important to install:
: 1.kdesupport
: 2.kdelibs & kdelibs-sound
: 3.kdebase
: and so on.
: People who do not want to upgrade to XFREE86-4.0.1 should force on
: libXaw.so when they install kdemultimedia package.
:
: The only problem I encountered (which I've allready posted to cooker) is
that
: you must add text files to /etc/X11/wmsession.d for each windows manager
: beside KDE2, because after install of KDE2 there is only file 01KDE in
: wmsession.d . For example, file which you have to name 02Gnome with
: this in it:
: NAME=Gnome
: ICON=gnome.xpm
: DESC=Gnome desktop
: EXEC=/usr/bin/gnome-session
: SCRIPT:
: exec /usr/bin/gnome-session
:
: which, of course, was a part of the old windowsmanagers file.
:
: I people do like this, they will not have any problem running KDE2 on
Mandrake 7.1 .
:
: P.S. I am really sorry, that Pixie was removed from KDE2.
