further to my last email: for those that will bitch about it - this is how I setup my /etc/apt/sources.list config file:

I have installed qt3 and the develop package as well. I've got the correct version of g++ installed etc. I've tried using dselect - no go. Still fails. In fact I downloaded (from a ftp site) the whole debs for kde 3.0.3 about 2 and a bit weeks ago and i've even tried to install from that (manually and also setting it up on sources.list). I've tried copying from cd to hdd and doing it that way...no go. I'm sorry to say it, but kde is wasting my time. Until they learn to make a ./configure file (say openoffice can do it, why can't kde?) I won't touch them. I will not be recommending kde at all. I don't have a problem with debian, it's fantastic. I'm also happy with dselect and apt. It's kde.

I've never used kde before (being a gnome man up until now) - I wanted to try kde and give it a fair go, but sorry. After all the installation attempts and hassles, forget it. I don't want nothing to do with kde. As far as i'm concerned it's a pile of shit, a big pile of shit. I don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks of kde, nor what others think of my opinion, it can be shoved in a nice brown orifice for all I care. As yes - i've tried very very very very hard to get this stupid piece of shit to run - i've spent 8 hours on this. I've update from stable to testing. Still no go. I don't care anymore. Question - I want to totally remove EVERY piece of kde 2.2 from my system. Totally. Short of a reinstall (and not choosing kde) how would I do this? I'll stick with gnome thanks (i'm sure i'm going to get flamed for this but I don't care one iota).

That looks like what I did, though, and there were still libraries that were required and only available from woody/unstable (libc3.x maybe? I don't remember.) that were dependencies. I'll try this again with only ~schoepf added to the source list and see what happens. Thanks! Derrell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
