The stuff from the build service installs to /opt/kde4. So it doesn't overwrite any program files of your kde3 installation. But there is also the the ~/.kde configuration directory, which is used by both versions. To avoid problems there, you should use another useraccount for testing KDE4.
Didn't someone write a instruction page for this thing for cohabiting KDE 3.x with 3.(x+1)?
It would be nice to try the newer versions of Gnome this way if possible.
Instructions: 1. Add http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE4/openSUSE_10.2/ to yast installation source and install everything from there except for -debug packages. 2. Log out and select KDE4 session from gdm/kdm, log in as test user. 3. On first impression, everything looks the same as in KDE 3.5, you would get to see all the devs in the splash though. 4. Control Center was broken, so couldnt change any settings. I am not sure there are any new themes/apps taking advantage of QT4/plasma magic yet. 5. Open ksysguard and some games and post screenshots of those as they are the only place there is any visible improvements. http://dev.beryl-project.org/~cyberorg/suse/10/kde4/ Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
