XAIPETE! Im rather new to debian and especially to woody, but i want to use kde2.2beta on my linux box. the only kde2.2-debs i found were @ ftp.debian.org (none at ftp.kde.org!!). However, what do i have to do to use the kde2.2-debs from sid on my woody-box? is there any apt-get - way executeable for a not-yet-debianexpert ;-)? All the things in this thread seem to be moreless snippets to me, i'd need something complete...
