Let me (try to) give you one on the spot. If you don't have Debian at all: 1. Download Debian Installer (d-i) Beta4 from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and write it to a medium you can boot from 2. Install Debian with that d-i and it'll install Wheezy straight away. In the software selection screen, _deselect_ 'Graphical desktop environment', since that will install GNOME by default. I usually only keep 'Standard system utilities'. This will give you a very basic Debian system, even without X. At the end of the installation, boot into this very basic Debian system. 3. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add repository lines for sid (copy wheezy line and change wheezy for sid) and experimental-snapshots (taken from the qt- kde.debian.net site) 4. run 'aptitude update' and after that 'aptitude safe-upgrade' to get your system updated to the latest versions 5. Install KDE by doing 'aptitude install kde-standard' (or kde-full or kde- plasma-desktop and add other packages you'd like). Also install the pkg-kde-archive-keyring package. 6. Upgrade to KDE SC 4.9.x by running 'aptitude full-upgrade -t experimental- snapshots' HTH, Diederik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
