Hi Thanks, a definite improvement.
- KDE now start ok - /dev/null on reboot is now crw-rw-rw, which is ok - /de/vdsp on reboot is now crw-rw-rw - konsole now works There are two remaining problems - Sound, whenever kde starts I get an error with /dev/dsp. Is it work changing the owner from root:audio to <user>:audio? - Kmail keeps crashing, and whilst showing mail subjects ok will not show the mail bodies. All fun and games!
