Oh, thanks for mentioning that. That´s a shame! PCLOS is very polished, but they missed that one.
Which KDE-Distro would You recommend? Mandriva, Kubuntu, OpenSUSE, MintKDE? I would prefer an encrypted installation. I think this is possible via the alternative installer of Kubuntu.
Chakra isn´t stable yet, setting up Arch is too much fiddling around for me.
Thank You very much for this How-To! A couple of days ago I failed doing this. I went with an installation of PCLOS, as it is based on Mandriva, yet features all codecs preinstalled. Plus both run relatively fast for using KDE4 as their DE.
PCLOS is based on Mandriva, but the PCLOS installer does not have support for LVM.
