I'd sure like to upgrade, but need the Adaptec 1460 support, which is still
broken in 5.2, and the ACPI thing is a problem, so I'm sort of in a box. I
guess I could drop back to 3.1.4, but 3.2 is *so* much nicer.
I guess I have a loose attitude about packages, as I've quite often used 5.2
packages on 5.1 with no problems.
My main problem was *something* in the .kde directory. I was able to run fine
as another user or as root. I created another user account, moved to that,
and just imported what I needed from the old .kde directory and it all
started to work except knotes. By the way, I'm actually using a 3.2.2 klibs
that I built on 5.2.1 and it works.
I'm actually running 'contact' with 'kmail' embedded as I write this.
Anyway, it's working 'well enough' and I'll quit bugging everyone.
Thanks..
