Iceweasel and Icedove use default .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders in the user directory, so restoring backups from Firefox and Thunderbird is simply a copy and paste of the entire folders.

For starting knemo, go to KMenu -> Control Center -> Internet & Network -> Network Monitor. Check the box that says 'Use knemo to monitor your interfaces'.

Cups-pdf is a utility to add a system wide pdf printer. To setup printers, enter localhost:631 as the url in a browser. The pdf printer is added by selecting 'Virtual Printer PDF' from the initial list. In the drivers list, select 'Raw Printer' and go ahead. By default, cups-pdf creates a folder called PDF in the home directory. It can be changed by editing the file /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf.

===Installing OpenOffice===

Open Office is available as an older version in apt, so DON'T install it. Download the file

[ftp://ftp.mirror.tw/pub/openoffice/stable/2.3.0/OOo_2.3.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz OOo_2.3.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz].

Then untar it and inside its folders you will get a ''DEBS'' folder full of .deb packages and its subfolder called Desktop Integration. Get into the ''DEBS'' folder and use '''sudo dpkg -i *.deb''' to install all the deb packages. Then get into the ''Desktop Integration'' folder and install the last package using

'''sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.3-9215_all.deb'''.

This is a smooth installation of Open Office in Linux. The last package adds the menu items too the KDE menu.
