So is keeping an /opt/kde with a few mysterious items in it, as well as an /opt/kde2 with the actual KDE2 a Caldera thing? And what about $KDEDIRS ? If you don't ever have KDE1 installed (like a new Caldera 3.x install), then what is the point of KDEDIR pointing to where KDE is NOT installed but instead to a place that contains a few old relics present on the system for no documented reason? As Calders compile everything froms scratch in their distro (right?), what would want/need a place separate from where KDE2 is installed? If I later install a new KDE, then I place them elsewhere. But I am only wondering about the original install of a single version of KDE2. -- +============================+===============================+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 | Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | +============================+===============================+ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
