A few typo corrections, even in archive, in case somebody
wants to put a file back in the book. From misspellings-2.0c.

20 <application>CMake</application> modules in <application>KDE</application>
21 look for packages at hard coded locations. To accommodate this,

29 <para>One option is to put <application>KDE</application> into the
30 <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy. This creates a
31 simpler setup but makes it more difficult to try multiple versions of

45 <para>If you are not installing <application>KDE</application> in
46 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, you will need to make some
47 additional configuration changes. Best practice is to add those to your
48 system or personal profile:</para>

51<literal># Begin /etc/profile.d/kde.sh

82 <para>Several KDE packages install files into D-Bus and polkit directories.
83 When installing KDE in a location other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>,
84 D-Bus and polkit need to find these files. The easiest way to achieve this is to create
85 the following symlinks (as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>
86
87<screen role="root"><userinput>install -d &kde-dir;/share &amp;&amp;
88ln -svf /usr/share/dbus-1 &kde-dir;/share &amp;&amp;
89ln -svf /usr/share/polkit-1 &kde-dir;/share</userinput></screen>
90
91 <tip>
92 <para>Sometimes, the installation paths are coded into installed files.
93 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename>
94 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
95 class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>. After installing
96 <application>KDE</application>, you may rename the directory and create
97 a symlink:</para>
98
99<screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/kde{,-&kde-version;} &amp;&amp;
100ln -svf kde-&kde-version; /opt/kde</userinput></screen>
101
102 <para>Later on, you may want to install other versions of
103 <application>KDE</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink and
104 use <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename> as the prefix again
105 (<application>KDE</application> must not be started). Which version of
106 <application>KDE</application> you use depends only on where the symlink
107 points to. No other reconfiguration will be needed.</para>
