Installing the base system takes minute, getting the "rest" right takes years :)
My ".kde" directory was imported into ".trinity", so I can honestly say if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't even know where to start.
The "look and feel" is much the same since KDE2, so I know where everyting is. No surprises.
When did I get so stodgy?
Curt-
LOL. Well old Mr Curt,
I move certain things like Konqueror ksidebar, kooldock, and other important things and related config files, to a "system" dir, in "/foo/system/trinity" then symlink them to where they are meant to be. I moved kmail to my user files dir (a new dir I created to contain the commonly found documents, pictures, video etc within the root of the user. I then symlink kmail and all it's configs. I use the path settings in kcontrol for everything else. Firefox and gkrellm go into /foo/system/gapps.
Dirty, controversial, immoral, perhaps, but I never lose anything. Even if starting from a clean user.
Kate the scandalous.
PS sorry to throw you under the bus there... ok not really.
