No, but you just volunteered to rewrite/extend/increase all the (very
little) kdrive documentation we have on the website, didn't you? :-)

Seriously now:

might we prevail on you to download the source text of the kdrive page
and give it the radical rewrite/update it richly deserves, including
xkb and if possible some snapshots and performance data (like "top"
output showing memory consumption). You *are* probably the one that has
done the most real life testing of RULE+kdrive+xkb, and with a non
ASCII alphabet.

In my dreams, the new page should:

put in one and only one section all the information which is not more
needed for current Red Hat / RULE end users, but still useful for who
wants to build kdrive from scratch for Red Hat or other distros

have a separate section for post install configuration, possibly the
start of a database (=plain text list, don't worry) with startx
scripts with card specific settings

what else? Please everybody contribute!

Thanks in advance to Richard, if he has the time of course (and
confirmation of the invitation to enjoy an italian dinner whenever he
steps by my place in Rome!)

Ciao,
	Marco Fioretti
