Re: Installing KDE 4.6 Backport On Squeeze
Hi Nick,
please install using
apt-get -t debian-desktop kde-full
Please note that I lack time to correct an issue with USB automount (amd64 and i386) and security updates.
If you prefer a stable solution you should stick to the official packages.
Thanks,
Martin
