This is c&p from a previous response to the same question. Workingness is not assured :-) - ------ What I did was just add the following lines to the beginning of /usr/local/kde3/bin/startkde: export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde3 export PATH=/usr/local/kde3/bin:$PATH:. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/kde3/lib Then on the command line: # ln -s /usr/local/kde3/bin/startkde /usr/bin/kde3 Then in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc, add kde3 in SessionTypes. My SessionTypes line looks like this now: SessionTypes=default,blackbox,kde2,kde3,failsafe It works fine. The change in kdmrc will likely get lost in a system update of the kdm package but it's easy to change again and the next kdm package will most probably be KDE3 anyway. - -- A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in. --Kim Alm, a.s.r -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE8/SC+EHLN/FXAbC0RAsFOAKDgX6Uzc3NftZyw0rvmM6sJ5twT8gCbBA3s xZTdMq2fd+udZZ2T44mASDs= =oFH1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
