So you compile as root? I've been compiling everything as user, then su'ing 
to root to run checkinstall...

I'll look into this, I recall you mentioning something about this a while 
back. I've pretty much left checkinstallrc alone (I just installed it on my 
home box, prior to compiling KDE 2.2.2. Installed it at work a while ago).

Questions:
Why specify configure flags when they're the default? For qt, you've 
specified -release -shared -no-nas-sound -sm -xinerama -xrender -xft 
-no-tablet  and -xkb, all of which seem to be the default, according to 
./configure --help

Also, you've listed qt-x11-free-3.x.x. I'd downloaded qt-copy-3.0.3, what's 
the difference?

You've placed qt3 in /usr/lib. Is that just personal preference? Why not 
/usr/local/lib, or /opt?

Why --prefix=$KDEDIR ... --with-qt-dir=$QTDIR, again, aren't these the 
default?

Regards,
Tim
