well, I totally screwed up my Debian Lenny install last night. I was fighting an application error, made some bad choices, and ended up with a non-useable system. X wouldn't work & I could not get apt/aptitude to do anything worthwhile. SO, 9pm last night I started the squeeze upgrade process. just about finished it last night ( gnome login worked, but KDE was not to be found). That was about 12:30am.. 6am I was back at it.. oops, ran out of "/" file space, that sucks.. removed a bunch of useless apps.. got some space back. Installed trinity.. fixed a few squeeze upgrade issue, and about noon today I had my system back. My wife's desktop looks just like it did yesterday, except it says "trinity" on the left hand side:) I doubt she will notice. Her kmail is up & running, as is my gnome login.

too many trinity apps to list, but here's one: ii kdepim-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1178442 Personal Information Management apps from the official KDE3 release
yeah!!!!!
Did you have to rename .kde to .trinity or make a symlink for that, so that you got the old settings + mails ?

I had read on here before that you rename .kde, but all I did was copy everything from .kde to .trinity, so I have both. kontact showed up with all the folders, but no accounts. I just had to add her few accounts back in- 1 local, 1 local IMAP, and her username_IMAP account from the domain..
ok, that sounds not such a big issue. I'll still hesitate to move my office box from 3.5.10 (from lenny) to 3.5.12 (tinity) although I've migrated all other boxes ... call me coward :-)

trust me, I was THERE.. I was playing with trinity on my laptop, but didn't want to rock the boat on my desktop. It has been so nice just letting Lenny run its course... But I am GLAD I did it! things just seem snappier, it all works well, new versions of things are nicer... I am happy now. I was pushed kicking & screaming, but 6 hours later, everything is great.

if I'da known then whut I know now, it might notta gone some bad so soon.. a good apt-get clean probably would have freed up all the space I needed. Of course I had openoffice AND libre-office installed, now just libre-office. I went from a 20Gb FULL root partition to: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 20G 13G 6.2G 67% /
