How can I install this on my Amiga 500? I have the 512k expansion card so memory shouldn't be a problem.

You need the expansion memory to be chipmem, not fastmem. It is needed to support the transparency effects.

You will also really need an external disc drive. KDE 1.x works fine from a single 880k floppy, but I found 2.x requires a lot of disc swapping with just one drive. With Workbench 1.2 in the internal drive and KDE in the external it just flies!

Wow! I thought this KDE-on-Amiga was a joke until so many serious replies popped up to the first question!

Could you please tell me how it is possible to run KDE in less than 1MB of memory (RAM)? And how can it be that it "flies" on such an old computer when KDE sometimes crawls on a rather new Pentium-calss system?

Is this a special KDE-for-Amiga version or did I underestimate the old Amiga so badly?
