This version should no longer be used, newer versions are available, please PM me for links to the latest build.

244MB - 750MB+ uncompressed, + you will need room for OS. Not tested with NEW OS updated yesterday.

Install Instructions:

You will need
http://penguinbait.com/tar
http://penguinbait.com/bzip2

Must be in root.
cd /
tar jxvf /path/to/kde/file.tar.bz2

Suggested change
vi /etc/init.d/af-services

Change this line.
echo 4 > /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max
to
echo 14 > /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max
or
echo 24 > /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max

This allows you to open more sessions to the n800 either xterm or ssh. it controls how many pty's can be allocated. If you do not make this change, and you have problems with xterm not openening new terminals, or ssh not fully logging in, failing with unable to allocate pty, this is your problem. I was going to include the changed file in the OS but the new version of the OS was posted, and I was not sure if the file was the same.
This has not been tested by me in the new OS, let me know if you have it working
-----------------------

NOTE, the first time you boot it, using fresh flash, your menus icons inside Hildon will be all screwed up, rebooting will fix this, its because of an environment variable used for Menus. It may cause other problems inside hildon, it has not been extensivly tested. If you click where the menu icon is you can launch KDE without rebooting. You can not switch back to hildon from KDE, you must reboot. Have fun, if you get anything working let me know how to do it also (THIS IS AN ORDER:-) I know of no pre-req software on the N800, fresh flash is all thats needed. You should be able to go over openbox, but I have not tested, so if it screws something up, sorry?

I Suggest making KDE its own partition and playing with it. It is very useable, I never got kdepim to compile, so ther is no email application. webmail works great though.

Thanks to Nalim

You can still PM me or email me contrib@penguinbait.com to get a link from me, but I am queuing 1 at a time, queue is currently empty

Note if you want to setup KDE from scratch (desktop settings), you can remove or rename /home/user/.kde This is where the panel gets the keyboard icon, you can re-add it yourself /usr/local/bin/keyboard.sh The best way to setup is to use VNC server and you can right click. The ".directory" file on the desktop, I changed a setting somewhere to show system or hidden files and now I can not figure out how to turn in off. You can delete it but it will come back on startup. anyway, let me know if you figure out how to turn it back off.



Please post screenshots (ksnapshot under graphics menu), videos, howto's, here is your opportunity to post things nobody has ever seen before. I have not even used KDE since like when 2.0 was new, but I always liked it over gnome, personally. Anyway there are tons of things you can do with all the applications in here. I am very interested in finding out what you can get working. Have fun!

I seriously look forward to the time when we allocate 2GB for our OS and we truly have a suite of application to use. I think this is a great proof of concept and I pray enough of you screem for this that maemo.org/nokia may jump on board and do some development. With the very cheap price of 8GB cards and 2 slots, 2GB for OS is very reasonable, a price I would gladly pay.
