To anyone that is getting the error 'cannot start kstartupconfig' upon booting i found the source. It seems the file /usr/X11R6/usr/bin/startkde still refers to kde instead of kde3.

After changing line 54 (or somewhere there) from:

kdehome=$HOME/.kde  to kdehome=$HOME/.kde3

All was golden.

I've managed to get Trinity running nicely on Slackware 13.1. To be more precise it is a linux live derivative of slackware (similar to slax). Everything runs nicely and i have only one question.

On the root account i get the error 'cannot start kstartupconfig` after logging on and just before the desktop loads. I can click ok and move to the desktop no problem. I imagine it is a permissions thing with the home/root directory but nothing i've tried fixes the error. For testing i boot from an iso. Before creating the iso i have chowned the folder and also tried chmod 755. Can anyone point me in the right direction to remedy this. I am sure it is a simple permission problem but it eludes me so far.
