Okay, by going to archives for this list I found the clues on how to run the
automated kde install on a fresh potato with no desktop manager set up yet.
Really impressed by how smoothly that ran compared to trying to use rpms on
Red Hat. (Suggestion: put a short mention of how to invoke the install

Thanks for the advice. However, startx still brings up just a grey screen
with konsole in the middle ;>
Now to the next method ...

a "Would you like
kde as your default window manager?" query?), this would be one of the steps
to spell out.
Looking forward to learning what it is,

The first step is redundant - but did it anyhow - no change.
The second - well, where is th
to one just to go back out.
I'm also curious why the reinstall of kdm set it this way, when the initial
one didn't - guess that script modified the install enough to keep this
often-undesirable result from happening?
Thanks again,

t the hang of Debian. Always humbling to
become a beginner again. I'm more used to Red Hat, Slackware and Mandrake,
with some Solaris experience. I agree the apt-get stuff is a real advance.
What's surprising me is how sparse the Debian documentation is. Maybe once a
bit further in it

ils, losing the changes. Since the last time I tried it was before any
of the kde install, I'm not at all sure what broke it. Would be nice to get
it working again. Does kde break it for others? What should restore it?

work again on potato this library needs to be provided in potato-usable

If someone can suggest how to overcome this, it would save me from the wrath
of my girlfriend, whose system is disabled because of this (she wanted
Konqueror). The last couple of Potato-KDE2 installs I did went so damn
smoothly

Can someone recommend a clear route to get Woody up with xfree4 and kde2? I
can't waste another day on this, but would be happy to wipe and spend
another couple of hours on it if I thought that would result in the system
being up and clean.
Thanks,

against Gnome, just not what I'm after.
So the next experiment is whether the unofficial Potato KDE 2.1.1 will
install on Progeny nicely
Am I having fun yet??

It's still off. Are the mirrors picking up anything new, or might we as well
wait for tdyc to come back up?

perience how well this would work? The most
straightforward way to accomplish it?
Or is it so messy that the sane thing to do - for someone who wants a
rock-stable OS but at the same time wants to play with bleeding edge
applications - is forget the package approach and compile?
