I have the newest build of the os installed. What the heck am I doign wrong here? I downloaded all needed files, and tried to install them in correct order. Help me please

And now some questions:

1. I followed the "donate" link and it leads to tablethacker.com. Is that you? (Yes this is me penguinbait http://tablethacker.com/kde.html )

2. is there any "make it run faster" guide for disabling lets say "useless" startup apps?
Like what? If there is something starting on boot and you dont want it to, boot up KDE, turn off app, open KDE menu, and click "save session" now it wont start on boot anymore.

3. how can I tell if an app I want to install is compatible with my KDE installation? Can I use (any) generally available apps, or am I stack to the limited maemo repositories?
Well, only apps available for the tablet can be installed. KDE apps as every other app would need to be compiled for ARMEL to be available on this platform.


4. (I know this is off-topic, please ignore it if it can not be answered easily). What about internationalisation? I am Greek, so I went K/control center/regional & accessibility/country-region & language. I select country "Greece" and I can read proper greek characters in konqueror and koffice opening OOo 2.3.1 spreds, but when I press "add language" I can find only "US English" available. That makes the keyboard selector at the taskbar useless and I have no way to enter greek characters.

I am not sure, I really dont know, perhaps we should open a thread and see if anyone has solved this, I unfortunately am an ignorant american, and only know one language, which makes that somewhat less compelling to debug. I will do some looking around, anyone anyone??

Minor comment: it seems like when I logoff from kde, the click sound that I was hearing when tapping on the screen is canceled.
Yes, it was happening occaisionally to me but not every time, not sure how to fix besides reboot?
Thanks again!

Will it ever be possible in the future that installing KDE can be made as easy as installing a regular application ("click here to download and install") or is the very nature of this undertaking something that can only be done with a series of downloads, internal tweaking and steps? Just wondering because it sure looks nice but there is no way I would get through this myself.

Great work being done here. I have KDE running great but have run into an issue which may be related to the compile. When running KDE on both the N800 and N810 I have noticed that the "Stock" graphical keyboard doesn't work. So under KDE's utility menu I selected KDKBD as a substitute. I noticed that it is missing the numerals below the function key. Is there a work around for this situation? For the N810, I have the hardware keyboard, but on the N800 this isn't an option.
Thank You and keep up the great work gang.
