KDE install on potato - still helpless newbie
Hi all,
After all the advice I got from this list, I still have problems
installing KDE. I have fresh potato stable nothing fancy. I tried to
install KDE2 from a local dir (after I downloaded all the packages at
work), got "broken packages" message. So, I went back to the basics,
back to apt-get. Here is what I did:
Tigger:~# apt-get update
I got this:
Get:1 ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/main Packages [37.8kB]
Get:2 ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/main Release [76B]
Get:3 ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/crypto Packages [806B]
Get:4 ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/crypto Release [78B]
Get:5 ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/optional Packages [5624B]
Get:6 ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/optional Release
Ign ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de potato/optional Release

Then I did this:
Tigger:~# apt-get install task-kde kdebase
