Installed ubuntu, but want to apapt-get KDE
 

I tried to install Kubuntu, but the Motherf___ING CD happened to be bad. So I wasn't goint to install another distribution after I had already deleted all my partitions. I decided to install ubuntu as "server" so that as little as possible is installed. Right now, I have already finished installing ubuntu (installed lynx) and I want to install KDE just like kubuntu would have done. How can I do that? What repository do I have to add (I have already commented out the Ubuntu CD repository)? What package do I have to install? Remember..... I'm in console mode.
I have already updated ubuntu, by the way.

Follow these directions:

Since you're using console only you may need to do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list instead of sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Also, if you're using Breezy, replace all the hoary references with breezy

Oh, and comment out the backports.

Then

Remember, I'd like this "experiment" to be as close to kubuntu as posossible. Maybe there's one package in a certain repository that can get that done. (I'm a hopeless optimist, right? ;))

I have already managed to edit the sources.list file (with vi)
But what repository do I have to add? None? Just go for kubuntu-desktotop?

Please re-read my post.
I link to directions for which repositories you should have.
I also give you the exact code to type in to get Kubuntu installed.

You're not optimistic. There is one package. Read more here: http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php

had same problem
 

I downloaded kubuntu from ubuntu.com and started installing when it got to the base system instillation it said bad cd, so i re-burned the disc at a low speed i think it was x10 and the instillation worked without a flaw.

OK.... I added the kubuntu CD to my repositories (with apt-cdrom) just in case, and did
and it seems to be working.... but it's going to take some time to dowownload a lot of stuff (updates I guess).

OK..... Sorry to not have read all the information you provided. It can be a little messy to move around in lynx (in case you haven't tried). I thank you all for the information you have provided so far. It'll take a while till apt-get downloads everything (like 50 minutes from now). I'll keep in touch.

Done! Thank you guys! I'm using konqueror right now. ;) I had some problems to get X to come up, but after fooling around for a while, I got it to work (very good I saved the old XFree86 config file before formatting / ;))

I'm having some mouse problems, though, so I'll start a new thread! :-)
