Hi George,

I noticed that too, mentioned it on the quantian list twice (and will CC the
list agaib) and have it listed on the bugs page.

The workaround is simple:
	start konsole
	try to ignore for a moment that the colors are all goofy
	select a new 'scheme' via settings menu, eg 'linux colors'
	now konsole should behave better
	manual re-run 'kdesktop'
and things should be fine.  It's a nuisance, but not a show stopper.

Debugging help would be welcome.

I don't understand. What do you mean by option?  The script
'knopppix-installer' is still there, and so is its alias / link
'knx2hd'. That's all I ever used.

Patches welcome. If you can write a list of mininmal requirements, preferably
with references to the original Knoppix 4.0.2 requirements, I'd be more than
happy to post it.

Sure thing. Thanks for the feedback, and your interest in quantian.

Regards, Dirk
