Something like a KDE for N800 for Dummies guide.
1) boot from mmc HOW-TO
2) install KDE HOW-TO
3) install KDE apps HOW-TO

I'm sure that we can find bits and pieces everywhere. Could someone make a write-up Dummies guide on how to do this?

Thanks,

I understand and I would like to help but I can only do so much.

KDE instructions, although dont get the KDE tarball from there

Another cloning to SD thread

NOTE I have not read or followed these instructions, nor do I endorse either of the methods.

Basically once your system is booting from MMC, recommend at least 2GB, min 1.5GB. KDE by itself is over 1GB with PIM installed
using gnu tar and bzip2
http://penguinbait.com/tar.bz2
http://penguinbait.com/bzip2.gz

place tar and bzip2 in /usr/bin
on tablet in xterm as root

cd /
tar jxvf /path/to/KDE/KDEXXXXXX.tar.bz2

I am hoping to develop a install process with no partitioning needed, but it may not be available for a while, perhaps not even until the next version 3.5.8. I am holding off doing too much until 2008OS and 810s are available, I need to setup a chinook scratchbox.

We'll see what the future holds?
