In regards to the 32 bit version of Porteus, I've noticed the files and file structure underneath /root/.kde/ and /root/.kde3/ is exactly the same. Also files in both versions of ../share/config/ change simultaneously when I change a configuration option.
Does that mean anything I /rootcopy into one directory also has to be copied into the other?

Duplicate file structure?
- There's only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count in binary and those that can't.
- There's no place like 127.0.0.1 (IPv6 version: There's no place like ::1)

Re: Duplicate file structure?
Hello,
It is normal as we are using two different desktop for both version. One is using KDE-4 for 64bit CPU and KDE-3 (Trinity) for 32bit CPU. So the file system structure must be different.
For /root/.kde and /root/.kde3. There is a symlink between /root/.kde and /root/.kde3 to avoid duplicate files and bugs for KDE Applications. A symlink has been also to save the diskspace and provide the smallest ISO possible to End Users.

Re: Duplicate file structure?
Hamza is right. The /.kde3 file is just symlink to /.kde.
When you ls /root/.kde3 you are being redirected to /root/.kde. Try file /root/.kde3 from a terminal. In the next 32bit version the home directory will be $HOME/.trinity and both $HOME/.kde and $HOME/.kde3 will be links.
