I am about to install Trinity on Squeeze (Debian 6.0.4) for a client.  I have 
a complete copy of /home on the old version: Lenny (Debian 5).  The end of 
security support for Lenny precipitated this.

I am anxious about settings and data, and am hoping that TDE has reached the 
stage where it is truly usable by the non-expert user.  My husband was due to 
be the guinea-pig, poor man, but was using LXDE during the mirror problems 
and opted to stay where he was.

I installed Squeeze and TDE for myself, but managed to mess up my mail in 
KMail, and retreated (temporarily) back to Lenny and KDE 3.5.10.

So - any advice?  The KDE configurations will almost certainly be a problem.  
Any advise on how to rename them _before_ I mess everything up.

I have been Googling.  It wasn't reassuring!  See, e.g., 
http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/31333/ . It was also not much use.

I am very happy to RTFM if some kind soul would point me to the FM.  I can't 
find it.  And I should be delighted at LMGTFY - my Google-foo, in so far as 
it ever existed, seems to have deserted me!

Thanks,
Lisi
