XAIPETE!
Im rather new to debian and especially to woody, but i want to use
kde2.2beta on my
linux box. the only kde2.2-debs i found were @ ftp.debian.org (none at
ftp.kde.org!!).
However, what do i have to do to use the kde2.2-debs from sid on my
woody-box? is
there any apt-get - way executeable for a not-yet-debianexpert ;-)?
All the things in this thread seem to be moreless snippets to me, i'd need
something complete...
