All,
This startup tip was rather humorous, but does need fixing:
The K in TDE does not stand for anything. It is the character that comes before L in the Latin alphabet, which stands for Linux. It was chosen because TDE runs on many types of UNIX (and perfectly well on FreeBSD).
Those global sed -i "s/KDE/TDE/g" do have consequences -- some unintended :)

Even better, let's just update it:
The K in KDE did not stand for anything. It was the character that came before L in the Latin alphabet, which stands for Linux. It was chosen because KDE ran on many types of UNIX (and perfectly well on FreeBSD).
The T in TDE does stand for something. It stands for Trinity and is the name for the project that brought you the first atomic bomb as well as the name of the project that brought you this desktop. TDE also runs on many types of UNIX (and perfectly well on FreeBSD).

I'll use your replacement text to patch and push some time today. :)

Fix in git hash d6997b3e4f7e1fbeb0e4bdff35d0b65f1704351f.
I changed the wording some. Using Trinity and atomic bombs in the same sentence was comical, yes, but not good PR. :)

I was sure your use of wise discretion would prevail :)

Ah. A test. Sort of like:

Zork! No, you've got it all wrong...

2 more packages to go and you and Tim get a resounding "Hell Ya!"
Currently trudging through tdegraphics @ 68%, and except for leaving avahi-tqt in the array and forgetting to add tdegraphics, tdevelop & tdewebdev (add when avahi-tqt crashed), This has been a one command build from hal-info -> tdewebdev! All it took was a simple
./tde/scr/bldtde.sh
done!
(that is in a clean chroot - starting on a blank system - so TDE is actually working like a champ!) (I hope I don't jinks myself :)
