Hello everyone,
I tried the Fedora LiveCD and I am very impressed with it.


I would like to install TDE on my PCLinuxOS 2012 system to make a remaster that use TDE.
With proper mods, it can look almost as good as KDE4 while being so much faster and using  less memory. By using oxygen icon theme and similar color theme, with the new Ubuntu font, as in PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE edition, it looks awesome!

It would be very appreciated to have packages for PCLinuxOS.
Thank you for making KDE3 living again!

Hello,
It looks like PCLinuxOS is an RPM-based distribution, even though it is using APT as package manager.
I will look into it, but it should not be too hard to rebuild the existing RPM for another distribution.;

Thank you very much! I think that the Mandriva or the Mageia packages would fit almost just as it should but they use urpmi where PCLinuxOS use apt and Synaptic. PCLinuxOS was some years ago a fork of Mandriva, just as Mageia so they are in the same family! If there is a way to configure Synaptic to use right away the repos for Mandriva or Mageia, it would be great too. If the urpmi repo can't be used by PCLOS, it would probably mean that the existing RPM would have to be placed in a PCLOS-compatible repo.

I use sometimes a CAD program for linux that is named DraftSight. It is available for free and is made in Qt3. It is provided in one big RPM that I can install easily. Would it be possible to put all TDE in a big RPM file?

Thank you for your time!
