Hi,
    I succesfulluy compiled kde2 on my PII 400 (RH 5.1) except koffice
(a msword filter missing.. I can survive) and kdemultimedia (some nasty
missing file and wrong usage of variables...)
Anyway, everything looks good.

I followed the instruction for double installing kde2 with  kde 1.1.2
There is a minor problem:
somewhere some way kde2 is still referring to /opt/kde as its base
directory, even if I set everything to point to /opt/kde2 as environment
variable). I have to sya I compiled everything saying KDEDIR to be
/opt/kde but...
What I got is that it does not find programs/icons from the
toolbar/kicher.
I solved it via sym-linking /opt/kde2 to /opt/kde, but it is annoyng
because I have to use kdm coming from kde 1.1.2 and with the previous
setting it get screwed.

The most nasty problem is the fact I have a 2 monitor system. With
kde1.1.2 I solve the problem of booting kde via a doubleinstantiation of
kpanel, kfm and kwm on the second display. With the new script I have
difficulties finding the proper sequence. I attached my previous
.xinitrc.

What I do now, for solving the situation, is:
0) I start with kde2 in /opt/kde2 and kde1.1.2 in /opt/kde1.1.2 and
/opt/kde->/opt/kde1.1.2
1) enter in kdm and log in
2) open shell and switch KDEDIR: not /opt/kde->/opt/kde2
3) restart "Panel Menu" (kicher???) (this due to previous problem)
4) set display to be my second one: "export DISPLAY=jupiter:0.1", and
set "xhost +"
5) re-run /opt/kde2/bin/startkde

Is there any wya to rearrange this sequence?

Thanks.

Max
P.s.
the new xinitrc now ddoes not have anywhing below the line
#$KDEDIR/bin/startkde
