Where’s KDE?
While installing KDE I ran into problems. When I unzip the .bz2 fileş (after altering their names to avoid truncation under the bash shell on Zipslack, probably due to the FAT filesystem) there are no fıles to configure in the kde directory in the opt folder. I have checked the KDE vvebsite and they do not mention bz2 fileş. I hope that you have any advice as hovv I can remedy this situation. And I am a nevvbie so please try not to make terms too technical.

rfj The ‘opt’ folder should be copied to one
II of a number of locations, depending mma 1 upon available disk space. Often, /opt is chosen, but as it rather undesirable to have a large root filesystem. /usr/opt or /usr/local/opt vvould be good alternatives, as both generally have large amounts of space reserved for installed programs, although the latter is usually only used for locally compiled, rather than prebuilt binaries. Once you’ve put the opt directory vvherever you vvant it, you just need to set the ‘KDEDIR’ environment variable to the appropriate path vvithin /etc/profile: export KD EDlft-/usr /opt/kde You vvill also need to set QTDIR, if it is not already set, as vvell as adding /usr/opt/kde/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf so that anything vvhich needs to load shared libraries knovvs vvhere to find them.
