I would like to feature this in our next soho release (beta 4?) but I need people to try this prior to building an iso as to what bugs need to be addressed on a package level prior to an official release. The packages are here:

Sorry for the delay. Finally got it installed. Seems to be running ok. I 
have hit one error so far - see the attached image.

Also, while installing, I noticed that Beta 3 is not setting the console 
keyboard layout according to the selections made during the install. I 
set my keyboard as UK, but I'm getting US keyboard when running in a 
console (I used 'init 3' to install the new KDE).

Paul.
