Re: Auto start of X in linux

Hi Bob,

There is a text file which lists the ones you want. The difficulty is in
navigating to the right directory. There are basically 5 files for KDE -
an installer plus three basic files and one full of apps. You also need
a file called qt-1.42..... which you should install first or some of the
others won't install properly. Once installed you will also need to read
the documentation as actually getting it going isn't as easy as it looks
- I had some difficulty sorting it out - basically you have to tell your
machine to use KDE (or kdm) which appears to do nothing - but then you
have to tell it to use it for 'you', in other words, to set it as
default for your login name. It seems to be designed for multi-user
systems where some folks might like to use it while others don't. If you
go to /kde/stable/1.1.1/distribution/rpm/RedHat-5.2/i386/ you will find
all you need. It is worth the effort!
