I haven’t really hit any snags with installing Arch, which leaves me with little to blog about the process. I’m slowly copying over stuff from my laptop and my desktop Slackware install, which is tedious.  For bringing over Firefox stuff, the extensions FEBE, CLEO, and OPIE have been extremely helpful.

I’ve installed The Chakra Project‘s KDEmod version of KDE4. KDEmod has split packages for KDE, much like Gentoo does.  This appeals to be because there’s a lot of KDE stuff I never use and installing fewer packages means less downloading and upgrading on this dial-up machine.  I’ve installed the minimal set of packages to get a KDE desktop and I’m slowly adding stuff as I see what I want.  This is my first real experience with KDE4, so figuring out what it could do and then what I should install if I want to make it do that is problematic.  I’ve grabbed a Chakra livecd with the full KDE4 to help me figure it out.
