Hey Ivan - Thanks for your great work!
I couldn't find this documented anywhere (I hope I haven't overlooked
something obvious). Would you please tell me:
What is the best way to install Debian testing/(woody packages) & KDE, when
the install is to 2001 HW, and is done entirely through a 56K mod
Thanks Rob!
Rob, Ivan, anyone: Any further suggestions here?

Hi,
I've done a potato install, and got X running. I got an X GUI up,
which shows a Debian task list on the left mouse button.
I used Tasksel to install KDE.
Now, I can get an X GUI up with the KDE login screen, but upon login I
don't have the KDE desktop, just the same X desktop as previously.

Hi Ivan,
I have installed KDE to a simple Potato system. (Base + Newbie Doc +
X) The system boots up to the KDE style login screen, but it doesn't
have KDE as an option for the desktop manager. Is this a bug? Isn't
the KDE installer supposed to set up the KDE window manager?

What's the best way currently to set KDE up for printing?
Have you done this recently?
Specifically: Recent Woody install.
This will be primarily for printing web pages from Konq.

During a KDE install I get an err msg saying out of disk space.
There was plenty of space on the disk, and I seem to recall seeing
