Subject: ANNOUNCE: RPMS (RedHat 5.1/5.2) available


Hi there,

Thanks to excellent work of Duncan of the KDE Packaging Group
<redhat-rpms@kde.org> RPM packages for KDE-1.1 on Red Hat 5.1/5.2 on Intel
architecture are available: 

new features: 

-- The RPMS are now relocatable to install to
   other locations besides the default /opt/kde

-- The Applications in the "optional" collections are separated into
   individual packages, so users have full control over which subset
   of KDE apps they install. kpackage-1.1.2 is also included.

-- A shell script "install-kde-1.1-base" is included to handle the
   installation of the base package (download it and the RPMs, install
   qt-1.42 and then run "sh < install-kde-1.1-base".  Follow instructions.
   after the base package (kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase) is installed,
   you will be able to run "install-kde-1.1-apps" 
   (or even, "uninstall-kde-1.1"  -- unlikely, of course!)

Report any bugs in the packaging to: redhat-rpms@kde.org

The KDE Packaging Group.

Builds of these rpms on other architectures (alpha, need volunteers
to do sparc) will be available soon, as will RPMS for RedHat 5.0 and 4.2.

Yours,
-- martin

Anybody who's comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants to
