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.

Yours
Timo

No, I can handle that one. I didn't know if you had an additional build
