I don't have anything that I generated anyway.  I have something 
installed that KDE pulled in if I recall correctly.  I'll let KDE start 
off fresh tho.

This does bring me to another thought tho.  Would I be able to copy my 
/home directory over from a x86 system?  I'm thinking I would but want 
to make sure.

Thanks
