Hi Johannes, thanks for replying :)

Okay, so how do you do it? You use the kickstarter, then tweak the files it
produces (is changing the TCA sufficient? Will I need to tweak more?), then
import? Or some other way?

I'm looking at what is produced by the kickstarter, tca.php, tables.sql, and
so on, and I don't see anywhere that there's a "TYPO3 registration" of the
primary key going on, which leads me to believe that the uid field is a
requirement by TYPO3? Will I have to "hack" to be able to remove this uid
field?

Thanks :)
