Hello SuSE folks, Is this a feature or a bug? Why SuSE7.1 creates .kde and .kde2 directories in / ? When I deleted them they have been recreated again. Content of .kde directory is the same as /tmp/ksocket-root Why it needs to be duplicated in /.kde directory? Content of .kde2 is a bunch of empty directories. Why do I need them if I already have /root/.kde2 directory with all configuration files? Please somebody give me clarification on this issue. Lenz, may be you can help? Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,
Why SuSE7.1 creates .kde and .kde2 directories in / ? When I deleted them they have been recreated again. Content of .kde directory is the same as /tmp/ksocket-root Why it needs to be duplicated in /.kde directory? Content of .kde2 is a bunch of empty directories. Why do I need them if I already have /root/.kde2 directory with all configuration files?
If you have created a new user and ran KDE or KDE2 after taht as that user, be careful taht you have not assigned home dir for that user, so that / is considered as the home directory. You can correct that by YaST Koray

I see the same thing here. I have not created any user with / as the home directory. This is a good question....... I know this is not part of the new Linux filesystem standard.... -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
