Re: kde 2.2.x on potato (self compiled)

[Paul Winkler <pwink@attglobal.net>]

KDE 2.2.2 runs well compiled on Debian potato.  Attached is a file of 
notes I made to help me remember the options.  The login manager does 
not run since it requires some editing of the X startup files - which I 
do not have the patience to deal with - so I just type startx at the 
command line.  Hope this helps.
