I do only have KDE on here. The bad thing is, I use kdm for my login |
| 29 |
manager. Even that was broken. I had no GUI and no way to login to KDE |
| 30 |
or anything else. |

I do save binaries but a few of them got deleted. I guess eclean got a |
| 33 |
little froggy or something. Some of the larger packages, qt, kdelibs, |
| 34 |
etc, etc, had to rebuild from scratch. At least I didn't have to have |
| 35 |
OOo rebuilt. o_O |

Looking forward to seeing how your upgrade works out. |
