I know it's not as complete as 1.4, but people that want 1.4 (and KDE 3) can continue running Lenny for quite a while. I'll be in that boat, and as long as security and stability issues are addressed (as is SOP for stable) I'll be fine with it. The release cycle for Sqeeze will probably see both KDE 4 and Amarok 2 eclipse their older versions in functionality if not also stability, efficiency, and performance. I still think the "best" plan would have been to have KDE 3 / 4 and associated applications be co-installable for at least one Debian release, but I don't do enough to help the project as is and that's a lot of work for developers with not a lot of interest. Executive Summary: From one user that won't be interested in Amarok 2 for a while, your plan sounds reasonable and acceptable. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/
