Many thanks for the advice, and for the explanation for why unstable
might have more promising KDE content than testing. I note your
comment in a later thread ("Fresh install of kde from woody") that
I suggest you do the following:
* Install woody from scratch. This works fine.
* Wait 5 days.
* Install KDE from testing - you'll now have *working* KDE 2.2.2.
and I take it you mean in this case that although the resulting KDE
2.2.2 will be working, it may be lacking some features that haven't
made it through from unstable (yet).
I guess the sensible thing to do might be (a) install KDE from
testing, and then (b) update that KDE to the unstable version if
desired things are missing - picking a good "unstable moment" if at
all possible :)
I'll have a go.
