KDE is an elegant and rich graphical desktop. To try it out, add the
following to your $HOME/.profile:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/kde/bin:.
KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde
export KDEDIR PATH
and create/modify $HOME/.xinitrc such that "startkde" is the last command.
Login on an ansi console screen and type "startx".
Alternately, you can configure your system to use the KDE graphical login
manager by following the instructions in the file
/usr/local/kde/share/config/xdm-setup-uw7.README
KDE 1.1.2 packages are available for both SCO OpenServer and UnixWare 7

On UnixWare 7, prior to installing the KDE package, you must have installed
the following:
KDevelop, an easy to use IDE (Integrated Development Enviroment) for Unix/X11,
is now available for UnixWare 7. Download the pkgadd installable datastream
via
ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/uw7/devtools/kdevelop/. In addition to KDE
1.1.2 and dependencies (see above) you will need
GNU Make and
GNU Automake.
The SCO OpenServer distribution of KDE 1.1.2 contains KDevelop as well. In order
to use KDevelop you will need the OpenServer versions of
GNU Make and
GNU Automake.
Both the OpenServer and UnixWare 7 releases of KDE 1.1.2 contain alternate
kpanel binaries and configuration files. These are tailored for use in
environments where KDE is pushed out to thin clients from SCO servers.
Often in this situation the thin clients will utilize a local window manager
to reduce network traffic. It is also common that these clients will be diskless
and/or wireless. For these reasons, the kpanel functionality has been
configured alternately for use with thin clients. To use the thin client
kpanel, simply replace the /usr/local/kde/bin/kpanel binary with
/usr/local/kde/bin/kpanel_nc and /usr/local/kde/share/config/kpanelrc with
/usr/local/kde/share/config/kpanelrc_nc. You will also need to add appropriate
lines to /usr/local/kde/bin/nc_logout to logout a thin client user.
