How can I tell which version of KDE

[Batti]

...is on my Mandrake 7.2 machine? I just read in Linux Mag about KDE2 and I'm wondering if I have it.

Thanks!

Good question...I was wondering the same thing. I just installed Mandrake 7.2 and noticed on thier web site that it comes with KDE 2, but I only see KDE.

If you can't tell the difference between KDE1 and KDE2 by just using it why should you care at all?

 

[MrJoe]

What?? Did you read the question???? There is a huge diff between KDE and KDE 2. The question is where is it??? Mandrake 7.2 comes with KDE 2.

since mandrake is an RPM based distrobution, open up a terminal and type rpm -q kde. This will report what kde version. I believe, since I don't run KDE so this is a guess, in the control panel there is a place that will tell you what version of kde you are running, what kernel you have, and what CPU type you have. RPM -q KDE will defianlty tell you whats installed.

Thanks, Jim!

rpm -q kde yields "package not installed"(?!?!?), but your control center idea was spot on - Mandrake 7.2 uses KDE2.

Thanks again!

Batty...

Did you install both CD's when installing Mandrake?

 

[Batti]

Yes, I did, MrJoe.

I only loaded the Install CD. How do I go back and install the other one and what does it give me?
