I do believe it is major-league broken. If you check you will also see that almost EVERY single site that had the rpms yesterday no longer have them. There are only a couple of sites that still has them and I'll bet they vanish soon too. The drive icons don't do anything. Instead of opening up the drive, you get a menu asking what you want to open it will (no mounting, nothing). A number of the entries in the kmenu, when you actually get them, don't work. The "run" command in the menu, as far as I can tell, doesn't work either. Enter ANY command you want in the run window and it will not do anything. Broken. Big, bad broken. Useless broken. The announcement of the final was premature. I am now kde-less after trying to play with kde 2.0 "final". I am not willing to go back and reinstall all of the 1.1.2 rpms yet AGAIN so it looks like it is gnome from here on out. If kde 2.0 isn't fixed and available soon (and if it REQUIRES one to run a beta version of Mandrake), then I may just get so used to gnome that I never go back. On a side note... One should not HAVE to run a beta distribution in order to run a non-beta, stable app like KDE 2.0 is _supposed_ to be. I am presuming at this point that it was widely discovered to be REALLY dicked up and thus it was pulled and that a fixed version will soon appear. How terribly embarrassing and what bad press they will end up with making an announcement that the STABLE and FINAL KDE 2.0 is now available only to find that it is VERY screwed up package. That is something one expects from M$. Message to Mandrake: do not make the STABLE version of KDE 2.0 dependent upon BETA level libs and an otherwise BETA system. Bad, bad, bad. praedor
