Anybody know of a reasonable general tutorial or howto in some detail on using KDE 4.1? I can find all kinds of howto's for specific packages or problems in 4.1, but I just want to learn how to use it. I'm using Mandriva 2009 Cooker, and there's not a help file and none in the repos.

Since I posted this questions on several forums, I've received some suggestions and found out some things for myself. Maybe it would be helpful to gather all the results so far into one post. Here's what I have on Tomboy:

What is it you want to learn exactly? To me KDExx is just a toolbox, not used for anything only to store tools in, know what I mean? Most apps come with their own manuals is that what you mean? Usually pressing F1 will bring up the manual, if there is any.

EDIT:
OK, just tested, theres KDE Help Center. In there you'll find a quick start guide and such :D
