Hi !
I've installed trinity today for the first time. Until yesterday I used an old installation of KDE 3.5 (debian, probably lenny; but today it's squeeze with some wheezy elements). I have couple of questions about the KDE -> Trinity transition and the first one is: Is there an way to import as many settings as possible from my old KDE settings directory?
<snip> Yes. Aside from any centralized settings in KIOSK mode (which will be honored by Trinity), KDE3 stored personal settings in ~/.kde. Trinity stores them in ~/.trinity. One can simply copy the contents of ~/.kde into ~/.trinity. I suppose one could also use a symbolic link. Hpoe that helps - John
The rendered my mail unusable. So I had resort to my backup, which died :-(, so I retreated back to KDE 3.5.10 while I still had my second backup. I have very little spare time at the moment, so am just praying taht my temporary computer will let me struggle on for a couple of months until I've got more time to rebuild my poor dead desktop machine, and reinstall Trinity.
So warnings to keep good backups are essential!
