Installing KDE 3.5...er, Trinity Desktop

With the exception of some minor tweakable changes, Trinity desktop is closer to KDE 3.5 than MATE is to Gnome 2.32. Here's how to install Trinity on Fedora:
Code:
sudo yum install wget
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
Now for the version specific part.

Fedora 15
Code:
wget http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f15/trinity-3.5.13-f15.repo
Fedora 16
Code:
wget http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f16/trinity-3.5.13-f16.repo
Fedora 17
Code:
wget http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f17/trinity-3.5.13-f17.repo
Now, I didn't like the way the Trinity team had made the desktop icons, so I made the default KDE 3.5 stuff: Home, System, Trash.

I've also noticed that there were some issues with the icons. Either they were gone or transparent on some.

All in all, Trinity is very nice. Just a fair warning: Don't install KDE 4 with Trinity...things get weird. (i.e. two programs called 'Konqueror'.) Quite confusing to say the least.

Have fun with KDE 3...sorry, Trinity!

Re: Installing KDE 3.5...er, Trinity Desktop

OK, one downside that I just found today: it is impossible to connect to a WIFI network via KWiFiManager. Just a general rule of thumb...
