Dear KDE Enthusiasts,

thanks to the excellent work of the KDE Packager Team I am proud to
announce the availability of new improved binary RPM packages for RedHat
at 


ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1/distribution/rpm

They will be firstly available from

ftp://ftp.de.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1/distribution/rpm


currently available:
-- RedHat 5.1/5.2  for i386 and alpha architectures.  ("rh5x" rpms)
-- RedHat 5.0 (compiled with egcs) for i386  ("rh50egcs" rpms)
-- RedHat 4.2 for i386 ("rh42" rpms)

Installation problems with the initial KDE-1.1 "rh5x" i386 rpms have been 
corrected.

KDE optional applications are available as indidividual RPM packages, but
can also be found in one large "kde-applications-1.1" RPM package (~9MB)
which is just an outer container for the individual RPM's.  This format
may be more convenient for some users.

Revised installation scripts and docs are provided by a new package:
kde-installer-1.1.

The other packages are:
kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase, kde-applications.

All packages except kde-installer are relocatable (can be installed to
locations other than /opt/kde , if desired.). 
This option is offered by the installation script.


Please send failure/success messages to redhat-rpms@kde.org
 

Yours,
-- martin

Anybody who's comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants to
tell other people what they should be using can go to work for Microsoft.
