kdm section in ktown README
Hallo Ralf,
To cite your README: NB: Corrections and updates are always welcome !
Here they are ;)
general: fmt -80 would be nice ;)
6.1 1st para
I think kde defaults are the test for Joe Desktop user. Telling them about ssh -X is much
easier than explaning xauth DISPLAY etc. Without ssh -X Joe User uses xhosts +
6.1.1 2nd para
All screen I've seen the last couple of year have dpi > 90 (currently 93, 105, 132 dpi).
So 100 dpi is much better than 75 dpi. If someone is to blame then IMHO KDE default font size ;)
I like that kdvi or kword printout is as big as the the screen display.
At least with DDC capabele driver and monitor the xserver computs -dpi itself when
not overriden on the command line. That's fine with ttf and type* fonts but one can
get strange results with pixel fonts ;)
6.1.2 KDM manages the remote X servers (not vice versa)
To achieve what you explained, there's definitly no need to remove
-nolisten tcp from Xservers
6.1.4
Again, -nolisten tcp missing for no obvious reason.
Last but not least it would be nice if section 7 would contain (or refer to a file)
that lists packaged apps not in the favous 'meta' pkgs kdelibs kdebase ...

+In the applications section you will encounter many programs for KDE 3 that are currently available. The necessary backports
for dependencies are also included so you should be able to run all of these programs out of the box. Examples are
famous programs such as kopete (multi-protocol messenger) or k3b (CD burning program) and many more for everyday tasks.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
