[KDE] KDE Installation Poll
I am putting up a poll just to see how peoples experience was, and get some numbers on install base.
Please participate, you can choose more than one option! Also feel free to tell em what options I should have put up here, I always miss some :) |

Re: KDE Installation Poll
Installed from CABs without ANY problems, after careful reading of all comments and problems. Having full Firefox would make me switch to KDE without coming back to Hildon. But still full access to my printer (HP LJ 4050) and all the apps makes is really powerful device.

Re: KDE Installation Poll
Being a KDE Junkie from wayback I really should track down KDE for this thing.
Not that I can imagine it installing in 128M (or 256M if I understand that right). I will admit to being a bit leery as KDE on my 266MHz ANCIENT laptop is awfully slow so I have no idea how it is going to go on the n800. |

Will try to get it all together and give it a shot. Kind of confused as to why it has to be split across 2 SD cards, but a bit more reading might resolve that. Thanks! |

KDE tarball compressed is 322MB round about, and uncompressed 975MB or more. So you can see this will not fit in flash memory with the Nokia OS. So KDE is available to be installed two ways Option #1 Create a minimum 1.5GB ext2 partition on SD card and copy OS from flash onto ext2 partition. Then un-tar kde on top of that. Option #2 copy all the debs and tarball to SD card can install. The DEB install creates a 1.2GB partition in a file on your SD card. It will format the file as an ext2 partition and mount it as /usr/local Then the debs will untar the files and setup KDE. Does this clear up your confusion? |

For one thing, there are so many options. I can open an image kwickly in some sort of KwikViewer (sorry, all I can remember at the moment is that *every*thing begins with a K) or a full-fledged image editor (Krita?). Of course the full-on editor is slow, but I expect that. Same with text. There is a KwikEditor that's fast and Kword that is robust and slow(er)... (and a there are few more editors of both flavors besides). BTW, in a limited (-10) number of tests, I haven't been able to get KSpread to read my .xls files yet, but I figure there'll be a way. This is an important feature for me, as Gnumeric hasn't been successfully ported for the new OS08, so I need some sort of simple inventory management tool. But to support PB's claim, KDE isn't superfast, but it works! So far (8-10 hrs of use) only one reboot has been required;) |
