BETTER INSTALL WITHOUT KDE2-COMPAT-2.2.2 !!!

--------------------------------------------------------

First install the basic installation of suse 7.3.
Then, if you want, replace XF86 and new sax2 + saxident
Then, add the KDE3-packages
At last, change the configuration-files.

--------------------------------------------------------
When you save the new packages on cdrom, you can install with yast1 via
"source: none" and then the directory /media/cdrom/ 
(or what your /etc/fstab says; don't forget the last slash).

Change all configuration-files at once.
Make a backup before you change a file.
In the virtual console (ctrl+alt+F2) you can use "vim"
(see man vim; first learn how to change files with vim).
--------------------------------------------------------

CONFIGURATION-FILES:

- /etc/init.d/xdm
     Change second and third kde to kde3

- /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
     [X-*-Greeter] -> SessionTypes=: Change kde to kde3

- /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
     Here should be a copy or a link from the former file
     
- /etc/opt/kde2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
     Delete the file
     
- /opt/kde2/share/config/SuSE/config
     Delete all
     
- /etc/SuSEconfig/profile
     Change KDEDIR and QTDIR to kde3 and qt3
     keep WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/kde
     
- /etc/SuSEconfig/csh.cshrc
     Do the same.

- /opt/kde2/bin/SuSEconfig.customized.kdm
  /opt/kde2/bin/SuSEconfig.kdm2
     Delete, to prevent changing back to kde2
     
- /usr/X11R6/bin/wmlist
     Add above: kde3
     
- /etc/ld.so.conf
     Add "/opt/kde3/lib" and run # ldconfig
     
- /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.profiles
     Change kde2 and qt2 to kde3 and qt3
     Add to PATH:  $r/opt/kde3/bin:

- /opt/kde3/bin/startkde
     Just the startfile for kdm or startx. Don't change.
     
- /usr/X11R6/bin/kde3
     A link from /opt/kde3/bin/startkde. Don't change.

- /root/.xinitrc
     Add:  elif test -x /opt/kde3/bin/startkde ; then
               WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde

     (KDE-STARTUP FOR THE COMMAND "startx")

- /home/.xinitrc
  /home/.xsession
     Do the same for every user.

**********************************************************************

SUSE-MENU:

Copy or make a link from /etc/opt/kde2/share/applnk/SuSE to
/opt/kde3/share/applnk. You can do the same with the work-menu.
You can link any program to it that you want.


WWWOFFLE:

- /etc/wwwoffle/
     # chmod 777 /etc/wwwoffle/                         (make accessible)

- /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf
     # chmod 666 /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf   (make accessible)

     StartUp
     {
      bind-ipv4         = 0.0.0.0
      bind-ipv6         = none

     AllowedConnectHosts
     {
      127.0.0.1

- Configure Konquerorbrowser:

   Don't use Cache
   Use Proxy --> http://localhost
                          https://localhost
                          ftp://localhost
   Don't mark "Proxy only use for ...."


**********************************************************************

Unfortunately the Konqueror-support for java-applets is insufficient
for many websites yet.

Hopefully Suse will decrease the amount of configuration-files drastically.
