Alternatively, you can pull the appropriate source package from http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/releases/R14.0.10/main/core/tdeutils… or use git to examine only the files that interest you: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdeutils/src/branch/master/… Whether or not you can extract the relevant patches from the other changes is another question, but you're welcome to try. It's complicated. You certainly can't install the standard precompiled packages using your package manager without the possibility of accidentally clobbering some things. You might be able to make it work by compiling TDE from source, installing to (if necessary) something other than the standard location, and modifying the starttde and startkde scripts to manage PATH and such so that the directories searched first for components match the desktop you're using at the time. (This was the approach Gentoo used to allow KDE3 and KDE4 to be installed side-by-side on the same machine back in the day.) You'd also have to back up your user configuration data, because some of the TDE installation scripts will update the KDE3 data for TDE's use. If running both side-by-side sounds like something you really want to do, I'd try it inside a VM first, or at least install first to a chroot so that you can check for file clobbers. You can also use a plain TDE VM or live CD to test to see whether or not any of the changes made since KDE3 will disrupt your workflow. Part of the point of TDE has been not to make significant changes to how the desktop works, though—there are a sprinkling of replacement graphics, but few other visible changes. E. Liddell
