If you install RPM's for KDE-3.5 they will replace the existing KDE. I don't see problem in this, because you can easily remove kde3.5 and install 3.4.x again (You may loose your settings). About the compilation: Well , it is not very hard (but time consuming ) task.I'm compiling arts,kdelibs and kdebase for about 4 hours on 2 machines with icecream.It can take more than a day to compile all of KDE. If you have the desire to compile KDE, this links are good for start: http://developer.kde.org/build/compile_cvs.html http://developer.kde.org/source/anonsvn.html You can allways skip the part with QT, but you must install qt3-devel packages. Basicly compilation is like this : Get the sources. make -f Makefile.cvs (only if the sources are from svn. I think that the daily snapshot shouldn't need that) ./configure --prefix/opt/kde-3.5 make make install This repeats for all the packages you want to install in this order: arts kdelibs kdebase ...... Make sure you have the devel packages from openssl , libxml.. This is the list : http://kde.org/info/requirements/3.5.php On Tuesday 25 October 2005 12:22, Shriramana Sharma wrote:
