kinst Version 0.1.24
====================

NOTE THAT THIS IS ALPHA CODE AND MAY EVEN BE
HARMFUL TO YOUR SYSTEM!!!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

This version of kinst is one step towards a
full-featured installation program for GNU/Linux/KDE.

To (hopefully...) compile the thing, you should go to
the top-dir and do the
        ./configure ; make
thing.

The comfortable way is to use
	./install-client
to install and register in KDE the kinst client Application
(which then can be used to install .kip-Packages).

In order to install the Installer-Generator stuff, you should
use
	./install-creator

Both install-scripts suggest some standard paths which can be
overidden (see the --help argument messages of the scripts).
If you didn't compile things before running the scripts they'll
do it for you.

Actually make install works as well. It will simply call
install-client and install-creator when run from the source's
root dir. (Don't call it from any subdir, I don't know exactly 
what will happen then)

Important: Be sure to have your KDEDIR Variable set.

I released this one to let you experiment around with
it, so mail any constructive comments, bug reports
etc. to
