I'm trying to put together a howto, and could use your input.
I've assembled a procedure, and some references- do you have any
suggestions?
My persoal goal is to have the procedure to run a Woody system,
with all the latest KDE packages pulled from Sid.
But, this procedure could be used for many p

This howto is in an early release form: It is not complete, but contains
much useful information.
I hope to update this once or twice per week, and will post it to the
debian-kde list.

During a KDE install I get an err msg saying out of disk space.
There was plenty of space on the disk, and I seem to recall seeing
a similar msg on -user, -kde or -devel in about the past day.
So I just wanted to post this in case others start to see a problem
like this.

I want a method that will not cause apt to get confused about this and
other sw once I install the Sid package.
Specifically: I have kghostview installed on the woody system. That
sw has a malfunction, and from the bug report info on kghostview I see that
Sid has a newer package that might fix

What is the way to properly install X (to prepare for KDE) on a Woody system
today?
(I have just done an upgrade to W from a basic (no X) potato.)
On the Woody page it says:
"Expected major upgrades, by the time woody releases, include . . . XFree86 4.0"
Does that mean woody has _only_ X4, or bo

Thanks for the confirmation. I have just done that fix, and

"apt-get dist-upgrade" several times), I may have suc

rather than "How to upgrade ...",
because I the procedure I gave there (and want)

Of course, the answer is relevant to doing an upgrade of
