Yup 1GB swap, working, sweet.
I may create another clone script with some ability to specify sizes for partitions. So you do not have to give so much space for swap. Also people like to control the FAT sizes too.
But its definetly the quickest and easiest way to clone your system right now.
It will be a lot of work for me to upgrade from KDE v2 -> v3 not because of the installation process but because of the tons of customization (hotkeys, desktops, shortcuts, window sizing etc..) that I've done with my existing KDE. Without the added bonus of more ext2 (for installing more apps) I'm not sure it is worth the work.
So sorry PenquinBait. I know you've worked very hard on this and I don't mean to offend you in any way. I'm just being honest about why I haven't jumped in just yet.

Also, since your already running v2 from SD card. All you need to do is backup /home/user/.kde and untar SUPv3.tgz from root
tar czvf /home/user/dotkde.tgz /home/user/.kde
cd /
tar zxvf /home/user/SUPv3.tgz
If you dont like the outcome, you should be able to just move or delete your .kde and untar the original.
It will add all the software and script updates.
WARNING WARNING WARNING. As with your boot from KDE deb issue. It may cause a problem which would then force you to upgrade or redo your system anyway.
So again I completely understand. You should just buy another SD card, clone to it and upgrade. Once you got everything working in new SD switch over.
Again this is money,
Anyway, please dont feel bad, again I truly appreciate your support..
Also, I will work on the new deb, give me a week or so.

Monitoring the install of kde-installer-v3 I notice that the main file, the Tarball, is KDE358v2.tar.bz2? Is this just a case of not renaiming it for simplicity and it is in fact v3?
I also lost my wifi connection during the install and then regained connection... its still seems to be working, which is nice, but geeze it is slow. I that your hosting again?
Now just need you to work your wonders with the "DEB to make your system boot from SD
" so it has two bootable drives on an 8 meg card. Then we can have one for KDE and one for debian. This would be super cool

Hi,
I'm reistalling KDE after the update to Diablo.
I downloaded the deb and the installation start, but when I controled the size of the 300MB file, I noted that the file didn't exist...
I suppose that the deb can't download the file from the server... why? can I download the file manually and put in the correct directory?
Thanks for the answer

Try again?
The 300 mb file is downloaded, untarred and deleted and then another files is downloaded and installed and deleted.

I tryed againg, but nothing...
The program doesn't download the KDE file... I controlled the directory fram browser and terminal, and I controlled the file sistem space with the control pannel, but after 20 minutes the file doesn't appear and the free space is the same (1,29 GB).
The last time that I installed KDE with the same file I controlled the 300MB file size with the browser without problem...
Can you send me the link of the 300MB file? with this I can test If is a connection problem...

Does the deb fail?
does the KDE file get created at all?
perhaps you can do an "ls" inside the dir and post so I can see whats happening?

I had the same issue as manfredi90 about the KDE358.tar.bz2 file not downloading after upgrading to Diablo, but after manually installing wget, it finally downloaded. However, it never untarred.

I am running KDE with the installer on Diablo, installed last night and this morning wihtout issue?
BTW, I am hoping to put out an update to v3 today, just some small fixes.
