Howdy...
I usually run debian unstable and it has been rock solid for me and apt-get is way cool.
however, I go back and forth on which WM/DE i like best, so I would like to try out KDE 3.4.1.
Can anyone guide me through this install or point me to a guide that actually works?
I have searched many a google site, and all of them leave out steps or assume this or that, and it never works.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2005/04/msg00172.html says add their repository, than just "install xorg", leaving out how to install xorg, and well, kde.
http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/docs/install.html leaves out the "experimental repository" they refer too, and they are assuming I already have KDE installed, and that I just want to upgrade.
When i go to "install" kde via apt-get, no matter the repositories, I get dependancies that are "not going to be installed".
I know i am running "unstable" and that it may serve me right for doing so, but its as stable as any OS i have ever used.
I understand that the official repositories don't have the current KDE, but these other sites claim it is possible.
Am I missing something, or is KDE 3.4.1 not installable via apt-get on Debian unstable ?? And if so, is there a guide to installing it by any other means? "from source" isn't a complete enough answer as I *think* there are many packages that make up KDE (kdearts? kdelibs? kdeetc)...do I need them all? And which ones are "all"?
Thanks in advance...
