There appears to have been some activity on the trunk build:
https://launchpad.net/kdar

Got it from the Edgy repos (kdar_2.0.6-0ubuntu3_i386.deb) &
libdar3c2a_2.2.4-2ubuntu2_i386.deb from the dapper repos. Installed on
Feisty without a hitch. I'm reading your excellent BurnSlice.txt and
will give both kdar and your script a spin later this weekend. Thanks again!
