<h3>Co-installable packages</h3> |
| 130 |
|
|
|
| 131 |
|
|
<p>You can co-install along your KDE 3 packages the following KDE 4 packages: <em>kdelibs5, kdepimlibs5, kdebase-runtime</em></p> |
| 132 |
|
|
|
| 133 |
|
|
<p>This is useful if you want to keep your KDE 3 enviroment but want to use a KDE 4 application like okular or even konsole. But remember KDE 4 apps will not integrate in your KDE 3 desktop so well as the current KDE 3 do.</p> |
