Nor is he allowed to drink alcohol, nor is he allowed to vote, etc. etc.

this may suck but as far as I can remeber, the rules are the same for everybody.

I guess we couldn't use image passwords on /. : people would confuse them with those new adds

Re:Missing X libraries and RH7.0 on KDE 2.2 Released · 2001-08-15 14:01 · Score: 1

dunno... works great with RH71 (side-by-side with Gnome for that matter...). If you have an existing KDE 2.1.x, you may want to unistall it first. I noticed that the obsolete package (can't remember which one, see readme) was screwing up the RPM depends. After that, eveything worked OK. I also kept the SSLlib that shipped with 7.1 and it's working.
