is still strongly in the development phase, and often utilises the latest package versons. The required software packages themselves require some set of minimum hardware which is not repeated here.
For installation the prerequisite packages are:
KDE 1.1
QT 1.41
gcc 2.8.x or egcs 1.x

Compilation and Installation
To compile the source code for , proceeds as follows:
Unpack the tar archives tar xfvz .tar.gz
Change to the source code directory cd
Check for required packages and create the Makefiles ./configure
Compile the source code make all
If the installing user has ROOT privileges, installing into the KDE directory tree is done by make install.
The following platforms were successfully tested:
RedHat 5.1 (Hagen Höpfner)
RedHat 5.2 (Hagen Höpfner)
SuSE 6.0 (Hagen Höpfner)
SuSE 6.1 Cebit Beta (Hagen Höpfner)
SuSE 6.1 (Hagen Höpfner)
SuSE 6.2 (Joachim Ansorg)

Installation of binary packages
The installation of precompiled packages under Linux depends on the package format used. is available in rpm and deb package formats. For a successful installation be sure to select the package for your system. First, some definitions:
FILENAME = name of the package file (e.g.: _0.6.5-1_i386.deb)
PACKAGENAME = the created package name (usually )

rpm
To install an rpm package use the command rpm -i FILENAME.The package may be deleted later using the command rpm -e PACKAGENAME.

deb
Similarly for deb packages, the installation command is dpkg -i FILENAME and to remove the package dpkg -r PACKAGE_NAME.
In both cases ROOT privileges will almost certainly be required to install or uninstall the packages.
