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
