Dont feel bad... my tablet teases me too.. it gets to around 33% compiled for kdebase and then the CPU decides it can't take anymore and reboots the damn thing and I lose it all.

5 times I tried recompiling today... just tried setting up scratchbox but that was a PITA and waste of time... REALLY annoying that this is the last step for at least a bootable KDE 4.1... it went 18 hours and compiled the near 1gb kdebase-workspace.. but nuuuuu.. can't handle the MUCH smaller kdebase itself.. blasted tablet.
