Hi all,
I have an old machine that still runs KDE 3. I plan to install Debian 8
with Trinity R14. Does R14 support settings migration from KDE3? Or will
all the settings be lost?

Trinity now uses other files than KDE 3, and the files have been renamed.
Settings are in .trinity , not .kde .
I have never tried copying and renaming the files, but I would expect
problems. Also you seem to imply you want to update an older Debian with KDE
3 to Jessie - I doubt this will work well, as very big changes have occured.
What's more, if I remember well, it was recommended to remove KDE 3 completely
prior to installing Trinity to avoid conflicts (but that may have been only
for older Trinity versions).
I have copied and edited kmail settings in the past, but this involved editing
some config files.
So I would install a fresh Debian 8 with Trinity (I would do this on new
partitions while keeping the old install until everything works as expected)
and set up Trinity from scratch.
