I have it installed flawlessly using the apt sources. You also might need
to install unstable in the sources.list until it pulls in all the right
packages. Also, I heard the Brandon's excellent X 4.2 packages are good to
have before starting to upgrade to kde3. Finally, you need to purge kde2.2
before pulling in kde3.0.
I'm thinking of making a shell script to do all this for people:
cat $x-line >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update;apt-get install x-window-system
cat $x-line >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get -y remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep kde'
and so on. :)

Please take a long walk/drive. Read a book. Take up a new hobby such as
basket weaving. Your attitude is not good for yourself nor others. I mean
this is a good way, be nicer to yourself. You seem like you've beat your
head against the wall, and I'm sorry about that. I've been there.
Have a nice life.
