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...

Re: [Cooker] KDE themes
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. --- Robert Fargher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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 __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
