It will be a lot of work for me to upgrade from KDE v2 -> v3 not because of the installation process but because of the tons of customization (hotkeys, desktops, shortcuts, window sizing etc..) that I've done with my existing KDE. Without the added bonus of more ext2 (for installing more apps) I'm not sure it is worth the work.

So sorry PenquinBait. I know you've worked very hard on this and I don't mean to offend you in any way. I'm just being honest about why I haven't jumped in just yet.

Seriously PCQ, I understand. Its much easier to take this plunge when new IT os comes out and you will be upgrading anyway.

Also, since your already running v2 from SD card. All you need to do is backup /home/user/.kde and untar SUPv3.tgz from root

tar czvf /home/user/dotkde.tgz /home/user/.kde

cd /
tar zxvf /home/user/SUPv3.tgz

If you dont like the outcome, you should be able to just move or delete your .kde and untar the original.

It will add all the software and script updates.

WARNING WARNING WARNING. As with your boot from KDE deb issue. It may cause a problem which would then force you to upgrade or redo your system anyway.

So again I completely understand. You should just buy another SD card, clone to it and upgrade. Once you got everything working in new SD switch over.

Again this is money,

Anyway, please dont feel bad, again I truly appreciate your support..

Also, I will work on the new deb, give me a week or so.
