Re: Docking Station and KDE?
The only light that I can shed on this is that it works OK on my machine. I
downloaded direct from the Creatures website rather than using the CD, but
the program updates itself when you run it anyway so that won't be the reason.
I am using an upto-date Potato with the addition of the KDE packages from KDE
net. About the only other non-Potato software that I have is Python version
2.0.1.
There is a Linux Docking Station forum and also a technical FAQ accessible
from http://ds.creatures.net/help.pl .
