Hi Ian!

Unfortunately, we don't have any plans to support KDE on Gentoo/Alpha.
It's a huge amount of software, and we simply don't have the man-power
to test it, much less fixing tons of bugs like unaligned accesses.

If you'd like to try it, you can use portage's --autounmask flag to
help install KDE. I perhaps could help with an occasional bug in Qt,
but beyond that, it's too much work.

Thanks, and sorry,

Matt

Hi Matt,

thanks for the bad info - I actually like Koffice and this is the main reason why I am interested in KDE.
So I will give another try but as I have not much experience working with software it is complicated for me.

Thanks,

Ian
