Linus, I hate to be a killjoy on this, but I just had to reboot again, it was killing processes, even first the shells I had open then kmail and X this time, but with nothing in the logs, and when X had quit, a top in the launching shell reported nearly 250 megs free with nothing in the swap.
So I'm not getting any usefull data, the machine is dog slow: real 17m51.460s user 13m11.201s sys 1m34.718s
That should have been 6 minutes maximum.
I got rc4 as the whole thing just now, maybe there was something wrong with the 2.6.7 base I was using. Thats rare since I quit getting the .bz2's, switching to tar.gz's which seem to be the more dependable format here.

The above was not available (X wouldn't restart), and trying to print from any kde app causes the app, and its launcher, to exit. So I don't have a paper copy and my memory isn't photographic, please accept my apologies on this. Maybe rc4 will also do it. We'll find out I guess. Reboot time again.
