KDE4 FullMonty Light configuration

[pinoc]

don't know, depends on some other things. Alternatively I can provide a temporary solution next week when I will be back at work.

Any progress on this?  The light version seems to me to be the ideal way to try out Full Monty.

will work on a different approach this week and let you know here when it is ready.

Thanks.  I have played a bit with the live dvd and it looks good.  I just don't want to do a new install for fear of repercussions if I mess up my wife's account

submitted kde4-config-fm (FullMonty light) to Tex for testing; once approved it should be available in your package manager sometime soon.

Thanks.

happy to announce that you can now search for and install fullmonty-light in Synaptic, which will give you the FullMonty desktop for any new user added to the system after you have installed fullmonty-light. More info on this light-version and the FM-tools can be found in the original post.
have fun!

Isn't this like "Jumbo Shrimp?"

LOL!

Is there any way to get an active user account (mine for instance) to switch over to fm_lite from the KDE default? I don't want to delete and re-create my user just to use it and I don't want to have to use a new user-id from now on.

Suggestions welcome?

no, you have to setup a new user first. Then copy whatever from your old user-account into the new one.

I was thinking that. It does seem something of an oxymoron.

you can now add or test the FullMonty desktop by installing the package kde4-config-fm. Please read the original post of this thread for more info.

kde4-config-fm is mutually exclusive to either kde4-config or kde4-config-legacy. Installing any of the 3 packages will NOT affect any existing user-account but only provide respective defaults for new user-accounts. At any time, you can install any of the 3 kde4-config packages in order to setup further user-accounts with the respective layout.

The packages kde4-config and kde4-config-legacy can NOT be installed on a FullMonty DVD-installation. Here, kde4-config-fm is already installed and can be used to setup user-accounts in either the FullMonty or the default KDE desktop layout.

Please also read the information in the file FullMonty_readme.txt in your Home directory after having setup a new user-account with FullMonty desktop layout.

have fun,

don't know what you want to wait for but starting off with a new FullMonty DVD is definitely the easiest option.
good luck,
