Why include all of the icons like the mono svg ones?

If all of that cruft was removed, I suspect it wouldn't be 750 megs unpacked...


I tried using 2 mmc cards, formatting the second one for ext2, and putting /usr/local on it, but it doesn't seem to boot then... no matter what I tried.

Sorry scruffy, I am not a developer and I included what I wanted, I wanted printing, so ghostscript and cups and samba are all there. The headers, well the headers were included so others could compile against them if they wanted.

So if you want them removed, why dont you remove them and repackage this for others? I did this in March on a n800 to prove that it could work, this was by no means a replacement for maemo, and I never tested on a 770, that it worked there was just a bonus.

So why, because, thats why

feel free to compile KDE they way you like it and distribute it, maybe I will give it a whirl
