Hi

I am working on a quick story on Plasma Active (and would very much be 
continue to cover it as new development happens). I have 16GB Nexus 7 
and have managed to install Plasma Active (Mer) on the device. The wiki 
page is nice but it lacks some info so I have compiled an article about 
installing it on Nexus 7 and how to go back to Android. This info can of 
course be used to update the Wiki page.

I have some queries so that I can continue my testing and write about it:

Imp questions:
1. How to cread root user account so that I can install updates and 
other needed packages
2. How do I enabled othe repositories?


Feedback:
3. I have noticed that apps open in maximed mode and I can't have 
tiled/multiple windows of applications, thus no multi-tasking is that a 
bug or that's how it is designed?
4. there is no 'back' button when in Files or any other such application.
5. Fonts or menus are too tiny to be used from touch interface. Is there 
any way to increase the size (especially in files you can increase the 
icon size)

I must congratulate the team for such a great effort. I ran Ubuntu on it 
as well, but I found Plasma Active to be 'ready' for such devices.

Best
