I believe, that redhat don't ship kde. I have search on our RedHat-mirror (sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de) and have found gnome but not one kde-package. Redhat pay people to make gnome but don't pay for kde. > Finally, from what I see, the people who want to distribute kde are > ignorant or confused about why it's a problem. The number of mails in the news, in the kernel-list and on debian-devel show: there is a problem. We should go the save way and remove the kde-binarys from debian. BTW: for the next release (in 4 months?) we an make a deb-package with the source and a dpkg-buildpackage; dpkd -i in the postinst. Grisu
