kde on solaris 8 intel
Post 17178 by AtleRamsli on Tuesday 12th of March 2002 02:10:49 AM

Eh, am I missing something?
I have the Solaris8 operating environment, I was one of those who also downloaded the Intel version.
After installing the 4 CD set, KDE is in /opt/sfw/kde - I think the CD containing this is called 'The Companion CD' - a weird name, since it is absolutely indispensable (The compiler is on it!)
The Fourth is called 'Documentation' and is not completely indispensable if you have a permanent Internet connection, but it is in the set.
The only two CD's that are not necessary are the 1'st install CD (!!?) and the 'Languages' CD - no computer languages, just a whole set of obscure Human languages. I installed that one believing that the compiler was there, together with Pascal,Prolog,Lisp,Forth - I deinstalled it immediately after
On Intel, the only way now is to order the Media Kit, like suggested, and install the whole thing.
KDE should be part of that???
