Vadim,
I would be VERY interested in getting copies of the spec files for both
qt-2.2.2 and KDE 2.0.1. I've already downloaded the source for all but
I prefer to build the rpms myself (I'm not really enamored of the idea
of using -ffast-math with and optimization level of 3) Also the CPU I
have is a K6-2 450MHz. Would it be possible to post the spec files
somewhere?
Thanks and best regards,
Arnold Troeger
