Hi,

After spending the lsat 3-4 days trying to get gentoo installed; I have finaly succeeded! Yay! I installed KDE only to find that the package.mask din't have the effect I thought it would, it installed 3.0.4!

Now, the thing is this, if I install KDE-3.1_beta2, will my existing KDE be overwritten or can they exist simulataneously?

Also, how do I actually install this version of KDE?

Thanks,
Luke.

and do an
Code:

emerge /usr/portage/kde-base/kde/kde-3.1_beta2.ebuild


You can install 3.1beta2 parallel to 3.0.x
