to move to kde I needed to upgrade my X system. (I was using one that came with hamm)
There is no documentation in debian web site on how to performing these kind of partial upgrades. Only thing mentioned is "use apt-get". Ok, I used "apt-get" to get the "xbase" package which is supposed to include all what is neseccary for the upgrade of X or at least thats whats being claimed. Cause it didnt work!!! Obviously, I have to make some manual tweaking, but there is no clue to what I have to do in the Debain website. It is meant to be a "download-install-configure" procedure, but why isn't there any info on configuring these packages? "apt-get" isn't a genius I suppose so, developers shouldn't expect miracles from it, instead they can give more documentation about installation procedures. Will anybody hear this outcry out there? The reason I moved to Debian is cause I was thinking I would get more control as to what I would be installing on my machine and all the other configuration issues. I don't want SUPERCLEVER installation engines, I just want to know what is going on!! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fethi Okyar Research Assistant Computational Solid Mechanics MMAE Department, IIT Chicago, IL 60616-3793 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
