DempaRose: Follow the device-specific guide to booting off of your MMC, and then simply unzip the KDE tarball.

Though I do agree with Aubrey, an step-by-step install guide from partitioning to the KDE desktop would be sweet, havn't gotten it working yet


I hear you guys, but I can not support everyone. The best thing to do is read and try, and post your issues, people will respond and try to help. I am currently booting from flash and mount an ext2 partition to /usr/local. The point I am trying to make is there are many ways to accomplish this.

Again post your issues people will help

penguibait, what do you think about qtopia-core? it is possible to run it on n800?
I am not sure about qtopia, I did not use embedded KDE because I did not want to try to get it working, when X already was. I am not developing anything at this point, I have not done anything since posting the original KDE tarball. I actually accidentally fdisk'ed the wrong device and lost my whole development system. sda1 sda2 #@!!$#@%

anyway, I wanted to get the community to demand this, then maybe some real developers will try to put some time into this. I only compiled this code, I had to hack a little on some makefiles, but that is just straight KDE, all the packages I could get compiled.

I am no developer, I am a hack at best, but if a hack can do this, imagine what real developers could do.

any screenshots of how this looks like? Also putting OS of card I heard is bad to do cause it destroys the card over time.

KDE looks.... like KDE. It's going to be the same.

I wouldn't even bother thinking about putting KDE on a 770. It's already slow and laggy enough on the N800.

that was going to be my next question. So it is going to be slow. I just dont think the default UI show anything of linux. Is there a better option?
