Help getting KDE4 on Windows XP.

Thu Jan 15, 2009 8:49 pm
Hi to all,

I just read over a few posts, and came across something that grabbed my attention. Having KDE4 on Windows.

So, I wonder if some one could help me doing just that.
If such thing is possible, please let me know, in a detailed way, how to do it.
Another thing, please don't get too technical, for some reason it always confuses me.

Thanks.

MexDeath,

http://windows.kde.org/ is a good place to start there is an installer available from there. There are other threads here for more advanced use.

A few things to add here:

- KDE on Windows is still beta. So expect some problems.

- You can not use the KDE Desktop (plasma) yet on Windows. It runs, but it can not replace the Windows taskbar. (task and systray widget not working yet)

But you can use most of the KDE applications with Windows (i.e. Kopete, Dolphin, Konqueror, Amarok 2). Some of them with some issues under Windows.
