done. 

There is a bit of confusing information about the basysKom download center. 
The latest iso there is from September 1, and some of the links are broke.

Would be good to have some sort of checksum on plasma-active-4-i586.iso as the 
instructions suggest using such. If a checksum is created, this information 
needs to be added to the wikipage along with the download location.

I started writing Tips on the wiki. After a short while, I realized that there 
is way too much to do a decent job on a beginning manual. Besides the people 
who have installed PA have done pretty well with no manual and an occasional 
helping hand.

So it's pretty sparse. Anyone is welcome to add, change and so forth.

I think that we're intending this release to be used by people who aren't the 
beginning manual kind of folks.
