Hi Alexandre
Please let me know when you ISO is ready for testing. I have a bank of test
computers ready to go. Ranging from Athlons 32/64, Intel P3, P4, P4 dual
core, Quadcore etc.
I have one request. Can you salvage the baghira theme? I think it was
abandoned by it's creator.
Thanks and can't wait to try it,
Kate
Kate, it will probably be ready before Christmas. If your computers runs well regular
PCLinuxOS, it will run my TDE remaster as well. For the moment, I had an issue with the
PCLOS installer who don't seem to ''see'' TDM and wants me to install
XDM. Francois tried something but it doesn't work for me.
For now, I have installed GDM and it seem to work flawlessly. I will probably just put a
PDF instruction file on the desktop so that the new users will know where to go in the
PCLinuxOS control center to switch the session manager to TDM.
I use the Qt-Curve theme for now. It provides consistent look between QT3, Qt4 and GTK2
apps. If you provide a link to the baghira theme, it could include it. Do you have a GTK2
equivalent too?
Coming soon!

Quick update:
My PCLinuxOS 2012 TDE starts in almost exactly the same time as my PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE.
The only difference is that my TDE test machine is a P4 with 768mb of ram and my main
computer with KDE4 is a Core 2 Duo with 2gb of RAM.
I have nothing against KDE4... In fact I like it. The only problem with it is that it
doesn't run well (or even at all...) on older hardware with less RAM and a less
powerful CPU. This is probably why some person here have found KDE4 to be instable,
especially on virtual machines. PCLinuxOS KDE is totally unusable on a PC with 512mb of
RAM. It hangs just by getting to the desktop, but the problem is not caused by KDE4, it is
caused by the fact that the computer runs out of RAM. It is very stable on a PC with
plenty of RAM.
At the same time, TDE will probably run very well on computers with 256mb or even 128mb of
RAM. I'll try to remove some RAM on my test PC to see how it runs!

PCLinuxOS comes with KDE4.
If the trinity word was at the end of the name, it would mean that the tde
dolphin package would be right beside the kde4 dolphin package, so it would
be easy to install the wrong program. With the trinity word in front of all
trinity packages, all the packages coming from tde are grouped together when
we go in Synaptic.
I understand why you said that, anyway .deb and .rpm wouldn't be used on the
same distro!

It is better IMHO to have them separated for the
KDE4 apps and it's
less
confusing.
Erm ... Why does having the word trinity in different places for .rpm and
.deb
packages separate them better from KDE4? They could each have been the
other
way round and still been separated from KDE4.
Of course, having the word trinity in different places does help
distinguish
between the two packaging systems!
