Excellent stuff. Now all we need is a deb with --enable-kde, --enable-gnome and --disable-redundantstuff (root menus etc). Is making such a deb as simple as downloading source.deb, compiling with the options and repacking? (Oh yeah, would it compile from source on 2.0?) It won't on Suse 5.3 withou

It is my understanding that on Debian, the KDEDIR variable does not have to be set. I could be wrong but I think I read that somewhere. I just installed KDE1.1 Debs from KDE.org and unless dpkg modified my .bashrc, the KDEDIR is not set and all works fine.

What does one do about KDEDIR after installing the Debian KDE packages? I want to install kxicq (from source) but it complains about not finding KDE. I can even find KDE with the 'locate' command, and it is working. There is a kde binary but no kde/bin. thanks -- Andrew
