Re: Has Anyone successfully upgraded Redhat 8 to KDE 3.1

Ok couple questions here,

1.  By Typing make in the meta dir, will that make all kde packages, i mean
like all the apps, office apps, etc?  The reason I ask is that the Konstruct
Readme says to

cd meta/kde;make install

to make all packages?

Just wondering.  Already doing your instructions now.  Thanks!

Ross
