I have been playing with KDE4, and this is just not ready to be ported to this environment, least not by me with my current tools. So I am ready to get started on some more development. I am wondering where people would like to see me spend some time? I am sure this will open up a can of worms, but I thought I would ask. No promisses on anything.

Do you want to see the KDE3.5.8 v2 turned into a deb?

Do you want me to ports some QT/KDE apps for use with KDE? (qt 3.x based)

Do you want me to fix some issue with current V2?

Should I port another XFCE or other window manager/ desktop environment?

Do you want me to go back to sleep?

Looking forward to your comments and suggestions,

pb

penguinbait:
1: Go back to sleep.
2: Wake up and drink lots of coffee
3: When properly caffeinated, first make the app accessible (seconding the .deb vote) and then add functions

At least, that's my opinion. Why add functions and features to something that's a pain to install?

I agree with thoughtfix. Get some well deserved sleep. Drink some caffeinated beverage. Make a .deb so more people could use it, then fix issues or port some more apps.

Heh I agree with the others Get some well-deserved sleep and some coffee You did an amazing job with that port, I love my K810!

Actually, I didn't have a hard time installing KDE at all... The dual-boot (which i know is a part of the install, but something I would have done anyway, just for application space) was the part that gave me trouble. Personally, I'd really like to see some more apps ported into the KDE environment (Maybe FF3 please? It already works better in the KDE windowing system vs the Hildon one. Could it possibly be better optomized? (I haven't looked at the code as of late) )

Alright, alright... Task list

1. Package Qt as a deb (no telling how long this will take our corporate overlord) with the demos (preferably put in /usr/bin but with the prefix qt added, i.e. the demo browser is "browser", make it "qtbrowser").
2. Get back to KDE 4! (Try and do it with sbrsh?)
3. Delve into the black hole that is GNOME?

To answer your question, in a comfortable chair with something refreshing nearby!

I would say the .deb!

I tried the USB Mouse thing with my little logitech notebook wireless mouse... needless to say I was blown away. If the dialogs all fit on the screen I'd possibly convert over completely. Thanks for your hard work.

Whatever you jolly well please; it's the great thing about volunteer work!

Personally, I'm no big KDE fan; is FVWM2 ported yet? (Since you seem to specialise in window managers...)

Alright, the Debs have it, I will update the deb install process for the V2 KDE 3.5.8.

Feel free to keep the post flowing

I am warning you now though, DO NOT EXPECT a deb that updates the current one. It will have to be a completely new install. I will be however putting in some more checks to fix some of the problems people encountered on installing.

Debs please pb

Actually - if you could script the entire setting up of another OS on the internal/external card, that would be best
