I'm sure a very experienced user could downgrade their system -- back in 2008 I managed to downgrade a fully up-to-date system by two years worth of software. Of course that's not going into 2.4 kernels, that's still 2.6. I think, if we support a Debian build of TDE, that we should do it as cmake completes. I don't use Debian except as a backup partition due to a very buggy user interface (even when they supported KDE3), so I wouldn't be able to test. -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager
