funny, the four biggest packages are..:

 That extra package is a monster :p

That's why we now have 2 CD's.  :)  And seeing as how KDE is the reason
for Mandrake's existence (remember, Mandrake _used_ to be nothing more
than RedHat 5.x with KDE added), I think there's a historical precedent
for making special allowances for KDE users...

[Cooker] KDE themes

[Robert Fargher]

  When I installed Mandrake 6.1, one of the things that impressed me
was all the extra themes that were included for KDE.  I was sorry to
see they've been removed in cooker.

  Will they be put back in for the released version?

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Robert,

I found the extra themes on the cd.. I don't remember
which directory.. however they are there and only
require you install the rpm.

[Cooker] kde-themes error

[Stefan van der Eijk]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error with a lot of KDE themes:
(Trying to initialize the theme through the "KDE Control Center"

Failed to unpack /usr/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/Factory.tar.gz with
cd "/home/stefan/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work/" ; gzip -c -d
/usr/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/Factory.tar.gz | tar xf -

When I do it manually, in my home-dir, I get the following error:

bash-2.03$ gzip -dc /usr/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/Factory.tar.gz |
tar -xf -
tar: Factory/Factory.preview.jpg: Error while closing: Operation not
permitted
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

As root, no problems.. but when I look at the permisions, one file is
strange (the same as above):
-rw-r-Sr--1 root root21583 Feb  8  1999
Factory.preview.jpg

Is the SUID (??) bit needed for this file?

Greetings,

Stefan van der Eijk
