I've successfully downgraded a whole system from unstable to stable by
setting the pin-priority of stable over 1000 in /etc/apt/preferences
and using apt-get dist-upgrade. Shouldn't this sort of thing work to
downgrade any unstable packages on the s
tions on this.
The kde package is NOT kde, it is a metapackage that installs kde plus
a lot of kde apps. So if you want to uninstall kab and karm then you
will also need to uninstall the kde metapackage. This will NOT
uninstall the kde window manager. That is in packages like kdebase
and kdel
or putting this in ~/.xmodmap:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock

and using it with this command:
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap

You need either nfs-kernel-server or nfs-server. I use nfs-server,
but I'm not sure why I chose that, and I think I'll change to the
kernel server before too long. After that, there shouldn't be
anything else you need to reconfigure.
