VERY IMPORTANT: THESE BINARIES ARE CREATED FROM THE CVS AND MAY NOT BE IDENTICAL TO THE BETA THAT WAS RELEASED. THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL KDE BINARIES. (DEVELOPERS: The date in kapp.h is changed to 20000708). A new version of the KDE Snapshot binaries are available at us.mandrakesoft.com. Please read the README file in the same directory. Just in case you missed it "READ THE README" prior to doing anything! If you need help installing please go to www.kde.org and look for directions. MANDRAKE, REDHAT, and other RPM based system users should update to the RPM's with this build. This is extremely important and will save you problems as we move forward. The file locations will change with my next build and if you are using the tar binaries you will have more work. The RPM's will do all the needed work for you. These binaries are built from CVS as of 08 July 2000 at 06:00am Eastern Standard Time (-0500). Please bring all install questions to the un-official kde-alpha list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] These binaries are built with QT 2.1.1 (-3mdk if you are a mandrake rpm user). You must have qt 2.1.1 with jpeg support compiled. Get it in the same directories as the packages or at any Mandrake-devel mirror. These files are available via ftp from: ftp://us.mandrakesoft.com/pub/kde or via http at: http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc (follow links for kde2 Alpha binaries) You will also be able to find these at (after a few days): http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697 The rpm's are also available on any Mandrake-devel mirror (cooker), if you install on Mandrake please make sure you get the kde2and1scripts.rpm as well. You will have to do a --force on this one. The RPM installs have been tested by me on a Mandrake 7.1 machine. They have also been reported to work on all other distributions. The rpm's are built with Mandrake 7.1. If you are not running the most recent version of rpm, I would suggest an upgrade. If you are running prior Alpha's I highly recommend you update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural changes in the packages. You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same directory. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Molnar Mandrake Software Hartford, CT USA (860)956-9408 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It said uses Windows 95 or better, so I loaded Linux!"
