I'm a kde man but haven't taken the plunge into kde 4.x. at present I'm mostly in Debian anyway which lags behind - ok with me, actually. can't a script be devised which auto-mounts usb drives? thought that was a task for fstab? do you really have to go to runlevel 5 to get this? (I used to do as you, first command-line and then startx but now what the hell....) Felmon

No problem in going to CLI with ctrl-alt-f1 (or 2-6 for that matter, can't have enough CLI's now can you?) -- Kind regards, JT

There's also a difference in directory structure, and I have no idea whether everything in .kde should be copied to .kde4 or just selected subdirectories, or even select files. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I understand "Unix" and I understand 'principle of minimum astonishment", but I don't understand the two in conjunction. When the only toll in your toolbox is a pipe, everything looks like a filter, and the na�ve user expects the same results from, e.g., eqn | tbl | troff as from tbl | eqn | troff. That may have been fixed, but it was definitely around for a long time. This doesn't mean that I like how the KDE3 to KDE4 transition was handled; IMHO there should have been an automatic migration of configuration files for at least address book, calendar, mail and news. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
