Assuming you're using unstable or testing, you don't need anything extra in your sources.list. There just is no package called "kde". If you want to get a crapload of kde stuff, then: apt-get install task-kde Otherwise, if you want to be more selective, "apt-get install kdebase" should install the core KDE package with its dependencies, and from there you can use "apt-cache search <whatever>" to search for the package names of other progs to install. Oh, BTW, if you plan on using Konqueror and want strong encryption, I recommend installing the kdelibs3-crypto and kdebase-crypto packages too. -- Tom "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." -Albert Einstein
