Re: [expert] Mandrake KDE 2.01
This morning I updated my 7.2 partition that was broken from the kde-2.0.1 update. So far this new version of kde (2.1-0.20010101.1mdk) works great, letter perfect. The menu bar at the bottom of the screen decided that it wanted to be about an inch up from the bottom after the update and restarting X. But after futzing with it for a while, I deleted my .kde directory, logged out, restarted X, and logged back in. Perfect. Thanks for the support getting this thing fixed. Sound which was broken with 2.0.1, works nicely. Ditto for the network. Oh, yes, before I forget, cups works great. With the new driver for my hp895 inkjet, I get fantastic resolution and all of the programs that I have printed from so far work great. usb connection functions fine for the printer also with the new cups updates. 7.2 has finally matured to point where it can be counted on by me.

All is well again inspite of myself :) Chris's packet was fruit from the CVS tree which is headed directly at KDE 2.1, but we responded to customer demand for the 2.01 bugfix release.

I follow exactly the readme attachment for install (if not you will have problems said it). Sorry for my bad english, hope understand :-) Actually, all I intended was to comment that Chris's KDE2 was definitely past 2.01. The rpms he made available yesterday update KDE to 2.1 20001210. I also meant to imply, since I believe a lot of people on this list were using Chris's rpm's . _stick with 'em_. IMO, on my hardware, Chris's previous 2.01+ or his current 2.1 is much better than the 'unsupported' 2.01 LM just released.

slew of messages that the packages ( Chris Molnar's ftp://nebsllc.com/pub/KDE_UPDATE ) already installed were newer. BTW, I was hoping for a KLogin Wallpaper fix - but it seems it is still broke.
