KDE NOTICE
==========

There used to be two versions of kde.deb : one made by debian, and 
one made by the KDE team. Fortunatly this has changed to the better
and this package is both: the debian package and the kde package.

Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@debian.org> used to maintain the debian part
and Stephan Kulow took them over, when he orphaned them.

Since then Ivan Moore has been working on them with Stephan's guidance
and has just recently taken them over completely.


-----------
SSL Support
===========

To enable SSL support you must install kdelibs3-crypto and kdebase-crypto.


-------------
Anti Aliasing
=============

If you enable AA support with KDE you'll notice a decreased amount of fonts.
You will need to install fonts that support AA...ie True Type Fonts...

Please read qt-fonts-HOWTO.html for information provided by upstream.

Here is some information off the debian-kde lists that someone did.

Subject: some true type fonts tips for kde2.1, qt2.3, xf4.02
To: debian-kde@lists.debian.org

Hi guys
 
AA support is in XF4.02 and qt2.3 good
so kde2.1 works fine with these
 
now you most likely have little number of fonts on your computer
 
so here are some tips
1- grab fonts on http://www.fontfreak.com (thanks to  David Kempe
+<dave@solutionsfirst.net> )
2- put them in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType for example
    if you don't have access to root them create a dir like $HOME/TrueType
3- edit /etc/X11/XftConfig or ~/.xftconfig (if you don't have root access)
4- add the following line
 dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
  or
  dir "~/TrueType"  (if don't have root access)
5- restart xfs-xtt
    /etc/init.d/xfs-xtt restart (sorry you must be root)
 
Note that you don't have to restart Kde
try now the Konqueror Configuration and now you have access to your new ttf
+fonts with AA
 
best regards
C.

HOW TO START KDE
================

a) if you used xdm, you might want to use kdm (same as xdm, but nice
	outfit). 
b) run 'update-alternatives --config x-window-manager' and chose kde2 as your
        window manager
c) use "/usr/bin/kde2" directly !

1. About KDEDIR:
----------------

The debian KDE package has been modified so you do not need to set the
KDEDIR environment vairable to use it. You don't need to set QTDIR either.

2. Changes to KDE directory structure:
-------------------------------------

KDE's paths can mainly be organized independently. For Debian's sake,
I chose the below paths - following Andreas's settings.

/usr			prefix
/usr/bin		kde binaries (was KDE/bin)
/usr/lib		kde shared libraries (was KDE/lib)
/usr/include/kde	kde include files (was KDE/include)
/usr/lib/cgi-bin	kde cgi binaries (was KDE/cgi-bin)
/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML kde online documentation (was KDE/share/doc)
/etc/kde2		kde config files (was KDE/share/config)
/usr/share/applnk	kde applnk files (original)
/usr/share/mimelnk	kde mimelink files
/usr/share/icons	kde icons (and mini icons in .../icons/mini)
/usr/share/toolbar	kde toolbar icons (can also be used by other apps)
/usr/share/wallpapers	kde wallpaper icons (can also be used by other apps)
/usr/share/apps/APP	kde per application directory
/usr/share/locale	locales

3. Kpanel and menus:
-------------------

If you have the menu package installed, kpanel will display the debian menus 
of installed programs. Otherwise, you won't get any menus at all, so I do
recommend you install the menu package.

Instead of adding new .kdelnk files to /usr/share/applnk directly, you should
create debian menu files and run update-menus. See /usr/share/doc/menu/README for
details.
