Comment Re:Installing on stock Redhat 7 box (Score 1) 135

Note that the RH7 rpm's are actually installing KDE2 in /usr as the KDEDIR root. This is very different from the preview set of RPMs of KDE2pre which comes with RH7 on the second CD (they go into /usr/lib/kde2 as the KDEDIR root dir).

This also means that the following file needs to be edited to allow switchdesk to work properly:

/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.kde2

I've edited it to look like:

#!/bin/sh
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
export KDEDIR=/usr
exec /usr/bin/startkde

and then you'll have to run switchdesk kde2 to get your account configured properly.

Also if you are running devfs in 2.4.0, you will need to create /dev/cdrom (link it to the correct device in /dev/ide or whatever) for kscd to work.

I'm sure there are more gotchas, but that's what I've found so far.
