you make it sound hopeful again. I now have kdm with a kde3 and kde2 option but get a weird dcop message when I try to run kde2 what is the reason for using tar instead of copying the links? piet Ben Rosenberg wrote:
If you tar up and copy the .kde2/share/applnk directory you already have and untar it in .kde/share then you will have all the links on the kstart menu that you had before. Which includes YaST2 and the other stuff.
You can use kpackage from KDE2 under KDE3 it works fine. It may not be listed in the popup, but unless you completely deleted /opt/kde2 then you should have it.
I still have it on my system and it fires up just fine.

If you still want to go back to kde2 then just change /etc/rc.config back to defaulting to KDE2. BTW..KDE3 comes with KDM so you shouldn't be that bad off. You just have to make sure that all references to KDE2 are gone from things such as /etc/rc.config and your .bashrc .profile and anywhere else you might have specified it.

It's in /opt/kde3/bin.
Cheers!
