It was tested on Arch Linux KdeMod 4.1. Please test on other distros and give feedback.

Settings

Here You will be showed the installation overview:

• - "PREFIX" shows You the installation prefix (KDEDIR). If You run the installer script as root default prefix will be your global system prefix (`kde4-config --prefix`), meaning You will install the menu for all users. Otherwise it will be local prefix (`kde4-config --localprefix`), ie. You will install it only for yourself. Yellow color.


• - "Interface" is the su interface you will be using. It can be "kdesu" or "gksu". Blue color (sudo notice in columns is colored red).


• - "Text editor" informs what text editor You will be using for "Edit as root" menu. Green color.


• - "File manager" is what file manager You will be using: if it's konqueror then the menu will be installed for konqueror, if it's dolphin, the menu will be installed for dolphin... Green color.
