<answer><para>Just install &Qt;, tdelibs and tdebase, and from your favorite
|
|
|
|
|
window manager, launch &konqueror;. It should work just fine, but if it
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't (&tde; developers don't test that case often), report it to <ulink
|
|
|
|
|
url="http://bugs.kde.org">http://bugs.kde.org</ulink> and try running
|
|
|
|
|
<application>tdeinit</application> before running &konqueror;; it usually
|
|
|
|
|
helps.</para></answer>
