	Sometimes on first boot the screeh becomes black for several minutes 
while nepomuk is indexing the file system. If there is disk activity you 
should wait (up to 7 minutes) and see if the desktop appears.

	I do not own an Arm tablet to test the procedure myself. You should try 
wainting 10 minutes to see if the homescreen appears.

	You need to compile kde-workspace with the mobile profile and compile 
the master branch from the following KDE repositories: plasma-mobile, 
startactive, kde-runtime, contour, kactivities and share-like-connect. All our 
builds are rpm based but Kubuntu already packs Plasma Active:

	We have not created new patches for the kernel, we use the kernel used 
in Meego or Mer. They contain patches applied but not from us.
