I just had a brain fart. I am in no way able to implement, but would it be possible for KDE to use the Red Carpet installer that is part of Ximian Gnome. It looks like it just uses rpm, and provides a slick interfaces to subscribing to channels. Could it therefore be modified to install a subset of gnome to get Red Carpet running, and then install the kde packages? -Jeff >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
