KDE is being split up because it makes perfect sense to split KDE up, and what you're seeing is teething troubles, and the reason you're seeing them is because this is Cooker, where teething troubles happen. Don't like 'em, go elsewhere. See, no need to panic. -- adamw

It's now a separate package, kdebase-konsole, or some such. I think it should still be installed by default, but either it isn't tweaked to do so when selecting KDE yet, due the the newness of the split, or others think otherwise, it would seem -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

[Cooker] Cooker installation report (not good)
Hi 1) Installing with Grub on a dedicated /boot partition does not work (cannot boot) Installing with Lilo (graphical) on the same dedicated /boot works perfectly fine 2) Supermount is sloo. plus every ~5s it feels the need to access the floppy drive... also only root has access to the floppy... I wish supermount was dropped from the distro. It's never been working properly on any machines I've installed Mandrake (and this goes back several distro releases). Anyway that's always the 1st thing I get rid of after installing Mandrake... 3) Missing KDE programs (eg Konsole) 4) From the MDK login manager, I cannot reboot... only halt the machine I'm not gonna start again with the login manager and it has been discussed before I believe but why not use a properly themed GDM or KDM?!?! 5) In KDE, starting Kate for the 1st time shows only a small window and the "show terminal" is ticked by default. Why? It's an editor. 6) Mandrake from lilo prompt to MDK login manager (110 seconds) from MDK login manager to KDE (fully logged) ( 20 seconds) Gentoo from Grub prompt to GDM login manager ( 63 seconds) from GDM login manager to KDE (fully logged) ( 16 seconds) Measured on the same box (dual P3 733MHz, 512Mb Ram, HDs with similar perf according to hdparm) 7) Trying to format my USB HD (6Gb) using: "mkfs.vfat -v -c -F 32 /dev/sda" I get: Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: MSDOS FS: Using codepage 850 Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: MSDOS FS: IO charset iso8859-15 Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 41488 Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 08:01.
