Hi, The error in yaird is solved now.
A new slim iso is updated and does contain a new yaird as well as kernel 2.6.29 . -> http://powerplant.yoper.com/pub/buildresults/iso/latest-slim.iso Installation goes smooth. Further fine tuning with the repository URL's etc. is required . The automatic pkg installation can not fully work yet as it points to the stable instead of the alpha repository containing the bleeding edge packages. However , once the repository with the alpha packages is included you will be able to be back in KDE within minutes. regards -- Tobias Gerschner Yoper Linux - www.yoper.com Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
