NO NO NO, this is all wrong There is a deb, it installs KDE v3 on the partition you are booted to. It does not boot to KDE. If you want to use KDE, start it from the extras menu in Hildon. kde-installer-v3.deb There is another DEB kde-boot.deb This is a very small DEB what will switch it so you boot to KDE insead of hildon, if you remove it, it will again boot from Hildon. If you boot to KDE, you can still logout of KDE and get back to hildon. Is this clearer yet???????? (Reread post #6, does it make more sense now?) (IF YOU ARE USING THE INSTALL MADE EASY DEBS YOU CANNOT UPGRADE, it would have to be completely removed) I am confused exactly what the issue is?
