Yes, basicly that. However, Knoppix uses a mix of testing and unstable and
stable( ? ), and the 3.1 packages released for debian are for woody only.
They will not install smoothly, but you may be able to get them going. The
debs for unstable will be out reasonable soon, with a gcc3.2 compiled X, qt,
and kde 3.1.
b.t.w. Klaus, there are lots more programs for kde that weren't there before.
If I make a remaster that is _Just_ kde 3.1 + kde3.1 apps, I get to 300M
total, so you'll have to make some tough decisions on what stays and what
goes :)
These are the debs I use,
http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/ which have
lots of extra programs, and aegypten stuff as well.
