it's very good but I seem to be encountering some problems. first I'll
respond quickly to your comments but then post separately on an issue
I have which is much more important.
I can't find a way to get borders but I'll try again later. the color
theme trick doesn't seem to work but I may simply be missing
something.
too late now! I did an 'apt-get upgrade'. may be connected to my
problems.
I just
installed tde-pclinux on a netbook and I am quite impressed!
Thank you very much!
[...] there are
other goodies here but a couple of questions:
(a) the main one is the windows and panel don't seem to have borders.
I'm using kde-classic; how can I have distinct borders?
I think that the problem is just the color scheme I used to make the
windows borders the same color as the grey of the windows, to give a
more kde-like theme. Changing the color theme in the TDE control
center should give the result you wants. [...]
thanks for advice on synaptic and games.
Also, one thing to note is that these games and
edutainment packages
doesn't take that much disk space. I know that that it all adds up
to make something bigger, but it might be kept without loosing that
much disk space, especially on a regular HDD.
alright but I'd rather remove the stuff. I can remove the tabs on the
menu when I get the time.
(c) I'm
basically an apt-get person, long while since I've rpm-ed;
evidently one can use apt-get which I would like to stick to using.
any concerns here in the long run? should I go back to rpm?
PCLinuxOS uses apt-get and Synaptic, with back-ends for RPMs. I
personally prefer to use Synaptic, because it's a graphic tool, but
if you follow the instructions given in the web page that appeared
when you booted your PCLinuxOS system for the first time, it will be
okay to use apt-get in text mode. If you want to look back at this
file, go in the ''Trinity TDE'' folder in your ''home''
folder and
in the ''First boot'' folder, you'll find the instructions. Here is
what concerns using apt-get in text-mode on PCLOS: ''DO NOT USE
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade from the command line. This has
never been the recommended way. If you insist on using command line,
the correct procedure is apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. '' Have fun with my PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster!

thank you for your labors and your advice!
I am encountering some issues so I'll see how far I can get.
