Okay, that all sounds fair enough, i guess what i really meant about 'not
fully appreciating the consequences of this yet' is knowing how i should
install a newer release of KDE when it comes along without having to
completely upgrade RH.
Would it be a simple case of specifying a different prefix on installation ?
(and would this automatically be done in the Mandrake KDE RPMS - as they
indicated that they would honour the RH way of doing things too ?).
I would like to keep interested in Gnome as graphically it looks very good
(suspect this is Enlightenment more than Gnome!!), anyone know if Mandrake
will ship with this as well as KDE (as per RH) - which i also don't want to
miss.
Finally, any comments on the (seemingly) broken XDMCP functionality in GDM
anyone ??
Lots of questions and no answers - i'll leave evryone to get back to
Mandrake now as this is a Mandrake list ;-)
Martin.
