I like your faq _very_much_ :-) Great work. When you think they are complete and 
should be published, please tell me, and I'll put them on the web page. So this 
means we have a faq maintainer for the koffice now. That's great! 
 
Because of binaries and so on (you mentioned some stuff here in the faqs): 
 
No binaries for dec alpha are available (I'm too lazy to do that - I'll remove 
this info from the webpage) 
 
Currently I can't create statically linked binaries for intel because of some 
setup problems of the server. Also I really hate these statically linked bins. 
So I plan to make some changes here in the future: 
- Make normal binaries (linked to dynamic libs, etc.), and only link 
kdelibs/kdesupport static to them, because the new libs of kdelibs are needed 
- Distribute binaries of mico and the libstdc++ of egcs 
- Binaries of qt are available and installed anyway 
I think that's a better solution and nearly as easy to install as the static 
bins and the bins will not get soooooo big. 
  
BUTTH mayby the server which created the static bins until now will be replaced 
by an dec alpha. This would mean I would not have access to a fast and powerful 
intel anymore then. So could anybody offer me then access to a powerful intel  
for creating the bins. 
If my current intel server will not be replaced by an alpha, I'll update it to 
SuSE 6.0 and then the bins will be created for glibc2 systems, because libc5 
seems to die out :-) 
  
So, anyway: In the future I'll only build intel bins as mentioned above, if I 
have access to an intel machine. But I'll not create alpha bins. 
 
Ciao, Reggie
