I am about to fire up KDE in a new virgin install of Stormix on a dedicated box ... I plan to immediately
upgrade to KDE2.
30 megs is not a pretty thought since I am lucky to connect at 28.8 here in bad-copper-wire-country,
rural Central Florida. What file should I have a friend download to a CD, and from where, which I may
then run apt-get dist-upgrade on and have KDE2, please?
Thanks! Doc
