12. Move the KDE and SUP files to root < / >. In my first attempt I "copied" vs. "moved" the tarballs - big mistake. That leaves behind huge tarballs in "Documents" that take up valuable SD card space.

# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar.bz2
# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/SUP.tgz /SUP.tgz
It is not necessary to move the tarballs as shown in step 12. Just add "-C /" to the end each of the tar commands in step 13 of the instructions and execute tar in the download directory, or provide tar with the full path to the tarballs.

Optional - to use GNU tar by default, put it in /usr/local/bin and edit ~/.profile to prepend /usr/local/bin to the path. My path for root looks like (or looked like before the KDE install changed it - warning to KDE testers):

PATH=/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH
Thanks for the instructions.

Phil
