Hi all, 
	I wanted to report success with running KDe3.1 RC5 on a YDL 2.3 system. After 
getting tired of waiting for RPMS, I pulled down the latest konstruct. 
Konstruct is a great tool that will wget the QT and KDE pacakges, configure, 
build, and install (in a parallell tree) KDe 3.1RC5. It worked quite well for 
me. I think I only had 3 things to monkey with to make it work, for KDE that 
is a miracle I think. The best part is it compiles and installs in your home 
directory and tells you which env vars to set to run it. I would reccommend 
anyone who can to try it and report bugs with KDE3.1 on PPC before it is 
released. I only wish this tool was available months ago. If anyone would 
like to know how to make it work let me know. I will either tell interested 
parties or write up a HOWTO.


Thanks
Brian
