Alan is rigtht about the task 'kde' Sarge has a task kde based on kde2.2.x so I would expect kde2.2.x to get installed with that command. Dselect/aptitude is a preffered way, and be carefull to not select ay kde2.2.x stuff, only the kde3.0.5a. packages, both sets of packages will be listed. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
