Linux Mint Daryna KDE CE Upgrade Notes From Beta 44.

There is really no need to reinstall or upgrade from Beta 44 since in the end I only made a few changes:

  • Fixed the HAL USB NTFS problem (there is a post in the forums).
  • Changed some compiz default settings to make it more KDEish and fix a known bug.
  • Added a Linux Mint user agent for Konqueror and pre-added some sites to use the Mint useragent. This helps people know Linux mint is out and about.
