Hi Folks,
Downloaded the U10.10 version and played with that - all went well so
I installed it to the HD and all is apparently well with the install.
Not sure what can be done about the one problem I have: I copied
(rsync) my old debian kde3.5 $HOME over to another free partition and
logged out and mounted it as /home and then logged back in. Comes up
but did not pick up *anything* of my old kde3 data. Yes, I do
have /home/me/.kde. Permaission are correct and everything looks good
but neither kde3 related data (kontact, etc.) nor desktop config were
picked up. I did get the new user wizzard as well. I'm much
perplexed?!?!?
It would seem that the Trinity install should just pick up everything
from my old deb kde3 system. Did I miss something?!?
Any thoughts appreciated!

To enable side by side installation, Trinity does not use ~/.kde. User
configuration is in ~/.trinity and the entire Trinity installation is
in /opt/trinity.
When we migrate, we typically copy .kde to .trinity,
rename /usr/bin/startkde and then create a symbolic link
named /usr/bin/startkde to /opt/trinity/bin/startkde - John
