Thanks
The current KDE setup Is made for people who are already booting from SD.

Use Console Tools to setup boot from SD

OK, in order to install my KDE you need to be booting from SD with about 1.4GB free

When you boot from SD, this means you create a partition on the SD card and copy the os from flash. This means you can boot to flash as you do now, or you can boot to SD. There are separate OS instances and changes are not replicated.

That said, when you boot to SD its still just maemo, just like in flash. When you install KDE, it will make a KDE menu under extras. KDE can be started from there, it will turn off maemo and boot KDE. When you logout of KDE, maemo will return.
