1) Get E-UAE from this page: Amiga emulator on Asus eeePC (e-uae_0.8.29-WIP4_linux-i586_sdl.tar.bz2 works nicely). 1.1) Extract (and move) files into ~/amiga/uae directory 2) Fiddle with settings, and get frustrated (too slow emulation speed, sound failing) 3) Take these config files and scripts, and enjoy Copy into ~/s/run_uae.sh [code] UAE=~/amiga/uae/uae CONF=~/amiga/uae_00.conf if [ ”$4” != ””…

Finally! After long waiting KDE 4.1 was released. After very bad experiences with KDE 4.0, I decided to see what has improved.
