Wanted to pass this along as well...... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 14:49:11 +0100 From: "Hummel, Timo" To: 'Christopher Molnar' Subject: RE: Feedback for the KDE2-prealpha Hi Chris, a friend of mine justdownloaded the new RPM's and they worked on SuSE 6.3, then I tried them myself and they worked! So there's no need to compile KDE2 alpha myself anymore, you can also announce that they are compatible with SuSE 6.3.

I didn't know if you had an additional build script that built and installed all of the packages at once.
