The KDebian FAQ....



Hello all!
Maybe we could try to complete the KDebian FAQ ;-)
Can you tell me the answers for the "unanswered" (i don't know if it is 
well written) questions?

Thanks for your help.

        Online, use http://www.debian.org/Packages to see what is available, then either download and do "dpkg -i ..."
        or use "apt-get ...
