I had done this before and thought that maybe Sarge had changed since then and made it impossible, but last night I kept at it and got it. Actually I lost most of kde in the process, but the thing I wanted was quanta version 3. I think I can get the rest of kde back, because I have these installed: kdelibs-bin_4%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb kdelibs-data_4%3a3.1.2-0woody1_all.deb kdelibs4_4%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb libarts1_1.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb libqt3-mt_3%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb quanta_1%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb The trick is around libvorbis0, libarts1, and libqt3-mt. You have to remove the newer version libarts1 which gets rid of kde entirely. Ouch. And you also have to remove libvorbis0a. I think there is also another version of libqt3-mt that has to go. Then I installed libvorbis0 from the Woody cd. After that I used dpkg -i to install libarts1 and libqt3-mt from the above debs. And then I did the same with the kdelibs and quanta debs above. Now I have quanta3 and nothing else of kde. I'll download the rest of kde when I get to a dsl line and then try installing them. I would not recommend this to anyone. It was a royal pain, because I had to install and uninstall things about 5 times running apt-get -f install to fix things etc. I just really wanted to do it, because I had managed it on another partition and wanted to duplicate it. It is very messy. Anita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
