| I would update my graphics drivers from ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/drivers/ and install set71101, then the rest should go very smoothly.
I installed KDE 1.1.2 the other day, after downloading it from
http://www.sco.com/skunkware, and I was amazed at how effortless
it was to install and how outstanding an interface it is. Thanks
to Ron Record, the other goodly folks at SCO, and the original
people who hacked it.
On the SCO website KDE page there is a very simple installation
procedure that I'll echo here for completeness. I'll stop my X
server with scologin disable first. I run it on demand, anyway.
Then I'll set up the KDE so that it starts when I type startx.
Find your way to ftp://ftp.sco.com/skunkware/uw7/x11/winman/kde
and download the following:
Xpm Libs 2 MB
Glibs 21 MB
Qtfree Libs 9 MB
ETerm Terminal emulator. 15 MB
kde-1.1.2.pkg 40 MB
Pkgadd them all except the KDE package. The KDE package has problems
with /var/tmp being too small (it needs more that 40 MB), so you'll
need to unmount /var/tmp before you pkgadd the KDE. Be patient when
installing the KDE. It may look like it's hung, when actually it's
working hard at uncompressing the archive to /var/tmp.
Then add the following to your $HOME/.profile:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/kde/bin:.
KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde
export KDEDIR PATH
Then create or modify your $HOME/.xinitrc file so that you
add the following as the last line:
startkde
Now when you are at a terminal prompt, just type startx to
run the KDE. Just the other day, I decided to compile the newer
Eterm and I used the newer backrounds which I also downloaded.
If you like the original choices, your really like the new ones, too.
