fyi: if adding kde3 back into factory does not cause something else to be kicked out, I think it should be. I think the community packager(s) has proven he is willing to support it to some extent. I think the justification behind removing KDE3 was that if it is removed, KDE4 will become better. I opened a feature request in openFATE to restore KDE3 but most people voted against with most comments were such that if KDE3 restored, bugs in KDE4 will not be fixed. So I think there is no hope to expect KDE3 to be ever restored in openSUSE.
Quite frankly, the reason is just brain-damaged. Do you rally get just votes against it? Seems like some people shouldn´t be drunk and use their computer at the same time. No, seriously, this argument was right in the beginning of the KDE4-era, between 4.0 and 4.2 where KDE4 was still just for developers and KDE 3.5 for users. Sometimes, the step to KDE4 and *just* KDE4 was necessary, because, sometimes, you have to minimize the choice of desktops when you want to get your default-desktop recent and stable together. From now, KDE3 would be a nice feature. But when it really come back to Factory, then please not with the installation media. Just put it into a special KDE3-repository and maintain it there. Maybe use Trinity because it´s more recent and up to date. It would be a pitty when there wouldn´t be the chance to use a *stable as stone* desktop instead of the bleeding edge GNOME & KDE4 solutions. By the way, for 11.4 exists a KDE3 live CD by the KDE team, why not support it officially or by community? -kdl -- Kim-Dennis Leyendecker openSUSE Ambassador / openSUSE Wiki Team DE HAVE A LOT OF FUN! http://www.opensuse.org | http://www.suse.de Have you tried SUSE Studio?
