Hi Dan,

It is everything great, except for:

* I tried to install kdemod and pacman3 gave me a segfault. (Sorry cant see a 
way to replicate)
* In this same installation, pacman3 is saying that there are file conflicts 
and pacman2 just replaces the files. (Sorry, i cant explain exactly the 
problem... The best way to see it, is a kde user try to install kdemod with 
pacman3)

Except for that, im not having major problems.
