As Lobster says. Works fast.
My impression, app's work faster then in 235 openbox or jwm.

Got some goodies already, get them here (the kdebase-3.5.12.sfs is the base Trinity with pretty much nothing, truly minimal, applications are available as SFSs and have all their dependencies).

So far there's kpdf, Ark, Kopete and Noatun. Still running the magical scripts on the Amarok directory, so Amarok will join soon. On a second rxvt I'm working on Konversation, Ktorrent will follow.

Gotta love Trinity Smile

I still have another point to clarify.
I am so used to have the drive icons on the desktop and mount them by clicking on them.
Didn't find an easy way in KDE to do this.

Um, use pmount?

Sure pmount is a possibility, but I was thinking at something more in the KDE line like media:/ and have the partitions in there ready to be mounted/unmounted with a single click.
Maybe it's utopia. Rolling Eyes

It needs /etc/fstab to show drives in media:/ but in kde3 even with fstab written I couldn't mount them on click, maybe it works in trinity, or I didn't set it up correctly.

Thanks for the info, very educational.
I added device sdb1 and it is in media:/ now.
But when I try to mount it I get the message that the feature only available is with HAL.
So I suppose HAL isn't implemented, or does it have to be started separately?

Yeah I think it needs hal daemon to be running with some correct config or script.

I found a file in /etc hal-kde3.conf which contents is:

If you're sure hald isn't present on system maybe you can try installing

Thank you for the link.
I downloaded the deb and installed.
But for HAL to work correctly I understand dbus has to run also.

And there I have difficulties.

Um, you don't make symlink INSIDE Autostart dir, you should link Startup to /root/.kde and change symlink name to "Autostart"

I had to use /root/.kde3 to have symlinks execute at boot.

Yeah, that's the one, haven't actually checked the name.
