======================================================================
ANNOUNCE:  KDE-1.1.2 RPM's for RedHat 5.1,5.2 (they work on 6.0 too)

The KDE Packagers are pleased to announce KDE-1.1.2 rpms for Red Hat Linux.
Find them at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1.2/distribution/rpm/RedHat/
(and mirrors).

These packages are built on RedHat 5.2.   
They work on 5.1 as well, if the "jpeg" updates from Red Hat are installed.

They also appear to work well on RedHat 6.0 systems, if you wish to use them
this way. (Note: these are *not* ``Official Red Hat 6.x'' RPM's)

The optional-application KDE collections are separated into RPM subpackages,
so a subset can be installed.    kpackage-1.3.8 is also supplied; two versions,
(for rpm-2.5.x and rpm-3.0.x) are provided, as rpm's database format changed.

New feature: TWO different sets of RPMS are supplied:

 -- "rh5x" (oldstyle) series are traditional KDE rpms that install to 
    /opt/kde (or can be relocated with "rpm ... --prefix <yourchoice> ).

 --  "FHS2" (FHS-compliant) series are new RPMS that are designed to be 
     compliant with the File Hierarchy Standard v2.0, (as advocated by Red Hat).  
     These install to /usr, /usr/lib, /usr/share/kde, /usr/include/kde, 
     /usr/doc/kde, and /etc/kde.

We recommend the FHS-compliant series for compatibility with Red Hat's own
KDE packages, but recognize that many users will still want the convenience
of "/opt/kde" installation.  The choice is yours.

Enjoy!

The KDE Packagers, <redhat-rpms@kde.org>

Note: Support for RedHat 4.2 and 5.0 has been dropped; this will be
reconsidered if requests are received at <redhat-rpms@kde.org>.
