Let me try it the correct way and see. I always upgrade by changing the sources.list file to point at Jaunty and then do an apt-get dist-upgrade, but that is not recommended at all by the (K)ubuntu folks. I may have to patch the upgrade tool and push that update out to the Intrepid systems before an easy upgrade path to Jaunty is available.
I would not recommend removing KDE3.5 and then reinstalling it. It has a nasty habit of resetting certain things when you do that (due to the removal of kubuntu-default-settings-kde3 while a user is logged in), such as any Amarok playlists you might have.
I hope to have something available in the next couple of days.
Sorry about the delay!

Thanks, Tim. That's great news.
What is the proper procedure for upgrading? I currently have several Intrepid systems with KDE 3.5. When I tested the water with an upgrade to Jaunty it looked like most of kde3 was getting removed. So I canceled the upgrade.
What is the expected upgrade path? Do I run the upgrade, then reinstall your debs? Can someone on this list report on their upgrade experience? I'm looking forward to doing it just as soon as I know how.

As always, I am eager to get feedback from users! Send me an Email, post something to the Wiki feedback page, or send a message on kubuntu-kde3.5-users; I look forward to hearing from you!
