It's in ~arch. > It should be a safe/stable update since it's a bug-fix release I've been using 3.5.10 since 080924 without any problems: just update to that & then try emerging 4.2.0 . My feeling remains that KDE 4 is more eye-candy than useful, but I do understand the KDE team's motivation for developing it & no doubt it will supersede KDE 3 over the next year or so. My plan is to try out 4.2.1 when it's released & gets into testing. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
