thanks in advance to anyone who can help
or flame away about how backtrack isnt an everyday OS
hxxp://docs dot kde.org/development/en/kdebase/faq/install.html
the above should provide all the help you need of course the kde website also has lots of resources and information also be mindful of the prerequisites For KDE 3.4.1, you need the Qt™ library version 3.3 or greater. Please make sure you download the correct Qt™. You will also need the header files, if you want to compile KDE yourself
you can find it at hxxp://www dot trolltech.com/download. for free
KDE 4 is a complete pain inthe a$$ to install in slackware 11.0. It involves uprading to the qt4 packages which some of your tools need. If you know nothing or little about linux I wouldnt try it.
thanks for the confidence booster :-DOriginally Posted by purehate
ive always liked a challenge so as long as i dont run the chance of frying my HD or anything drastic im not going to be detoured from it gotta learn somewhere and somehow
Feel free to try it my friend. I'm the same way I love a challenge but let me tell you this: I couldn't get it going properly so if you can, well splendid!
i got it to work but its way to buggy not alot of programs work also it took like 2 hours to do had to re-format several times....
but it was sexy in some ways
You should try enlightenment window manager as well now when we're talking
about window managers as that's another window manager i like hehe ^^
(and sorry for being offtopic : O)
