Hi,
Hi Enrique,
I just installed Debian Etch on an Apple MacBook, using the latest
KDE-CD1 weekly build (should not there be a netinst CD supporting KDE
as well?).
The default netinst CD supports GNOME, KDE and Xfce install. GNOME is
the default, to install KDE you might type the line below before the
installer boots (in first screen after BIOS boot, where you see the
Debian logo and can press F1 for help):
install tasks=kde-desktop
You did an amazing work. Even the packages needed to get my system in
my language where automagically downloaded and installed :-)
Kudos to l18n, tasksel and d-i teams. They're great, aren't they?
However, I think the kde-desktop task should also include:
adept - package management suite for KDE
katapult - item launcher for KDE
k3b-i18n - Internationalized (i18n) files for k3b
konversation - user friendly Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for KDE
koffice - KDE Office Suite
kaffeine - versatile media player for KDE
qalculate-kde - Powerful and easy to use desktop calculator - KDE version
Joey already commented each package, but be sure that I'll revisit
this list during Lenny development cycle. I think that for Etch we're
done due to the freeze and imminent release.
Thank you,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I've some questions though:
- What's the desktop-base version for you - 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 ? If in
doubt how to check, open a terminal (konsole in kde) and paste the
dpkg -l desktop-base command output, please.
- If you're using desktop-base 4.0.1, what are your thoughts on the
artwork - login screen, splash screen and wallpaper ?
- What was missing in your desktop after installation that you changed
(not involving package installation) ?
- Have you installed other KDE related packages not cited above after
install? What and why ?
- Have you removed KDE related packages ? What and why ?
- Did you know about the graphical installer (not default) ? If yes,
do you know how to use ?
Full installation report is also welcome (see installation-report
package for hints).
P.S.- Some time ago I translated
