Don't worry about it. I ignored it and installed the package, everything 
seems to work just fine so far. Others in archives have indicated the same. 
Give it a try, and if you feel a little uneasy save the old files in one 
folder and just do it.  Good luck,

   It's not needed.  Install   kdeaddutils-2.1-0.20001213.1mdk  with 
the --nodeps option and all will be well.

  Hi,
 I installed KDE2.1 today and really like it. I had one dependency
problem "libkscan.so.1 needed by kdeaddutils",took a chance and used
--nodeps. Only problem I've had,the desktop icons for home directory and
the removable media drives do not work.Could this be because of the
dependency or something else.Anyone know what package contains this
file?Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
   Dan

I finished the move to KDE2.1 last night and it looks great.  One
thing I have not found yet is the theme manager that was suppose
to come out with 2.1.  LooknFeel gives you a lot of tools to
manipulate the overall appearance and operation of KDE, but I
have not found the theme manager.  I can't seem to find the
Aquatica theme I installed before moving to 2.1.

I haven't tried XF-4.01.  I'm still using XF-3.3.6.  What
improvements to you get by going to XF-4.01?

Barry :-)

 I've been using all of Chris' KDE2 updates since mid-November 
including the latest KDE 2.1 beta 1.  I've found that the last one is 
very stable, as bug free as Linux ever gets.  I don't even consider 
2.1b1 to be beta.  It adds many features, bug fixes over 2.01  YMMV

The jury's still out on the recent 7.2 compatible i686 XFree 4.02 
upgrade rpms.  I've had a few irritations (eg, Knode sometimes freezes, 
Kppp sometimes disappears from the panel).   I'm considering going back 
to 4.01.   XF-4.01 and KDE 2.1b1 was rock solid.

[newbie] KDE2.1 Updates

2000-12-25 Thread Barry Premeaux

Has anyone tried using Chris's KDE2.1 updates?  I've been using
his 2.0.1 updates and am really pleased with them thus far.  I'm
considering making the move to 2.1, but am wondering just how
stable it is.

Barry :-)
