|

| 207 |
|
---|
| 208 | <para>Later on, you may want to install other versions of <application>KDE4</application>.
|
---|
| 209 | To do that, just remove the symlink and use <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename>
|
---|
| 210 | as prefix again (<application>KDE4</application> must not be started). Which
|
---|
| 211 | version of <application>KDE4</application> you use depends only on

| 212 | where the symlink points to. No other reconfiguration will be needed.</para>
