    Please contact myself and/or Malte Starostik (kcmlinuz author) regarding
    the KDE kernel configurator. We have full intentions to support the new
    system once it is in widespread use. Support for the new system will not be
    in KDE 3.1 but it should be in KDE 3.2 if all goes as planned.

    If anyone has some feedback regarding the design we would also be
    interested in that.


    Additionally, to those who complain about Qt's size and dependencies:
    1) The 16MB Qt .gz (13MB .bz2) contains much more than just the library.
    it contains Qt Designer, example code, full and complete documentation for
    the entire library, etc. That's not obscene in comparison with gtk+ and all
    accompanying RAD tools etc. If for some reason 16MB vs 8.5MB really hurts,
    contact Trolltech and ask them if they will split the package up for you.

    2) Exactly what dependencies other than g++, yacc, and X11 devel libraries
    are you concerned about? I'm not sure there are any others. If you're
    really afraid of C++, I can assure you that it's not so scary, and you don't
    even have to look at the C++ code. However if you must, there are tutorials
    available online.

    Anyhow, I think it's great to see a kernel config system that can have a
    GUI implemented with stdio, curses, Xlib, GTK and Qt. That's clearly the
    best plan and they should all be available to choose from.

    Thanks
