Hi Michele,

Maybe (many more). But in the meantime I detected already one nasty
thing.
TDE-sysguard depends on lm-sensors 3.0.5. But this sensor depends on
KDE-sysguard 4.14.5 and the latter removes KDE-sysguard 3.5.10. But the
rest of KDE 3.5.10 does not like the new sysguard at all, so crashes.
What to do with that dependencies?
Overlaps, I don't think so. I remember vaguely, that Slavek once said,
that he carefully avoided to use the same names for TDE as they were in
KDE.

And that i had followed painstakingly!

What a pain in the a.... To copy the whole system with all its settings
to another disk:-((
