Liquid the easy way...

[Christopher Murtagh]

 Ok, I just installed liquid on another machine.. here's the easy way (the
important thing is the --prefix=/usr when doing ./configure for liquid,
this will put the liquid parts in the right place for the kde3 ppc rpms).

 If you follow the instructions to upgrade to KDE3 from the HOWTO on YDL
site:

http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_2.2/kde3.shtml


 Then installing Liquid is really easy.

 1) download source from:

   http://www.mosfet.org/mosfet-liquid0.9.5.tar.gz

   to a local directory (lets say /root/ for this example)

 2) tar -zxvf mosfet-liquid0.9.5.tar.gz

 3) cd mosfet-liquid0.9.5

 4) ./configure --prefix=/usr

 5) make install (must be root for this)

 6) From the mosfet site:

 "Once installed you should follow these steps in the KDE Control
  Center to use Liquid: Select the Liquid color scheme from Look
  and Feel->Colors, select the Liquid style from Look and Feel->Style,
  then select the Liquid window manager style in Look and Feel->Window
  Decoration. Then play around with new color schemes, etc... :)"

 And voila you now have KDE 3.0 and Liquid.

Cheers,

Chris
