penguinbait, this is something I'd like to see in the FAQ:
I confess that I haven't done all my searching homework; that said, it isn't clear from this thread's big initial post whether the deb install is run as an application from the Hildon desktop. Once the debs are installed, do you just choose the "KDE" menu choice and your hildon desktop is replaced by KDE? And then when you're done, you go to the KDE menu and choose "log out" / "shut down" or something, and your Hildon desktop comes back? Or do you have to reboot and choose KDE from a boot menu? Thanks!

do you just choose the "KDE" menu choice and your hildon desktop is replaced by KDE?

yes


And then when you're done, you go to the KDE menu and choose "log out" and your Hildon desktop comes back?

yes

as for wiki, have at it, once your up

sorry, chirp chirp

The main
reason that has not happened, is because there will be another version, in which I will clear some things up, with more safeguards on the install.

The main problem, is well you know life, jobs, family, getting my wisdom teeth pulled, flipping my car, having to find a new one. life happens... If you read the first post, I clearly state this is a hack, and things can go wrong. I rely on this community to help each other, as it has helped me plenty.

good luck!
