Debian sid sources.list for kde 3.1(and others)
hey guys,
i just installed debian on my machine(this being the 5th time) and i did get X working finally...however as you know debian woody comes with kde 2.2 so i downloaded the first two cd's of sid and added those to my dources.list file and then did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade..hoping that i now have sid installed(do i?). newayz when i did startx again i am still getting kde 2.2 so i went to kde's site to look for debian sources and i did find a line to add to my sources.list even though it said that it was for woody...i still gave it a shot...again the same steps update and upgrade...however i still have kde 2.2. can anyone run me through how to install 3.1 thru apt and also a good sources.list file...i have a very minimal file right now which looks like this: Code:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 20040109 _Sid_ - fsn.hu unofficial i386 Binary-2 (20040109)]/ unstable contrib main main/debian-installer non-US/contrib non-US/main non-US/non-free non-free I am very excited about finally being able to install debian...i would really appreciate any help i could get to get this thing working exactly to my liking... Thanks a lot. |
Read the APT-howto:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap.../index.en.html Find the closest mirror: http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full add the line: deb <mirror URL> unstable main contrib non-free to sources.list Mine looks like: deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian unstable main non-free contrib But dont' add that one, because you're in Texas and I'm in Ottawa. ;) apt-get update apt-get install kde That's how I got 3.1. If you want a full sid system: apt-get upgrade and maybe apt-get dist-upgrade Cheers, --Rounan |
apt-get dist-upgrade is indeed the command you wanted. For kde, you'll have to install it again. 'apt-get install kde' ought to do it.
