313 | <tip>
|
---|
314 |
|
---|
315 | <para>Sometimes, the installation paths are coded into installed files.
|
---|
316 | This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename>
|
---|
317 | is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
|
---|
318 | class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde4-version;</filename>. After installing
|
---|
319 | <application>KDE4</application>, you may rename the directory and create
|
---|
320 | a symlink:</para>
|
---|
321 |
|
---|
322 | <screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/kde{4,-&kde4-version;} &&
|
---|
323 | ln -vsf kde-&kde4-version; /opt/kde4</userinput></screen>
|
---|
324 |
|
---|
325 | <para>Later on, you may want to install other versions of
|
---|
326 | <application>KDE4</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink and
|
---|
327 | use <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename> as ithe prefix again
|
---|
328 | (<application>KDE4</application> must not be started). Which version of
|
---|
329 | <application>KDE4</application> you use depends only on where the symlink
|
---|
330 | points to. No other reconfiguration will be needed.</para>

338 | <para>Some additional packages which are based on
