Penguinbait. Since I'm under the impression you are the friendly sort I've a favor to ask. In this forum could you please avoid yellow text. On the tablet itself and even on my desktop I and others too I believe, use the "classic" skin on this site, which means light yellow on a light blue background. Kinda hard to see.
Apologies if I'm stepping on toes, your contributions are way to valuable to miss any of the information is all. Thanks in advance for your patience with me.

I just made an important discovery. If you have bzip2 installed. Remove it before you attempt to install kde from debs or you can (especially if you are as good as me) really bork your install.... really bork it.

I third, Penguinbait is awesome but the yellow text is unreadble on the classic skin we are forced to use to view this fourm on MicroB

Yes, I had no idea, I will stick to blues and reds, I would use no colors at all but people don't seem to read unless you scream it in there face 
No problem, I will see if I can update any major posts
I changed the initial post in this thread from yellow, to lime.
Is this any better?
let me know

Quick question: I have an N810 and I want to install it on the internal 2GB flash. I already have the 128MB allocated for swap in Maemo, but the entire drive is empty. I deleted everything else in there and have 1.75 GB free according to the control panel. Is this enough?
Do I need to copy the MMC2 batch of files to the drive and then install it from there or can I install it from the removable Mini SD card?
Also, someone has mentioned that Maemo OS2008 still coexist with KDE installed. Is that true? Can I switch back and forth without any problems. I don't want to give up Maemo since it is convenient for web browsing and multimedia. I only want KDE for the office applications.
Any help will be appreciated.

Well if its empty you should be good. The size of that space it 2GB unless you are saying your swap is on that already. If so I would remove the swap before continuing, local-mmcX will create a swap file for you.
Yes the co-exist, if you log out of KDE it will turn black, and maemo will start again shortly.
