don't make it a black box please



to move to kde I needed to upgrade my X system. (I was using one that
came with hamm)

There is no documentation in debian web site on how to performing these
kind of partial
upgrades.

Only thing mentioned is "use apt-get". Ok, I used "apt-get" to get the
"xbase" package
which is supposed to include all what is neseccary for the upgrade of X
or at least thats
whats being claimed. Cause it didnt work!!!

Obviously, I have to make some manual tweaking, but there is no clue to
what I have to
do  in the Debain website. It is meant to be a
"download-install-configure" procedure, but
why isn't there any info on configuring these packages?

"apt-get" isn't a genius I suppose so, developers shouldn't expect
miracles from it,
instead they can give more documentation about installation procedures.

Will anybody hear this outcry out there? The reason I moved to Debian is
cause I was
thinking I would get more control as to what I would be installing on my
machine and all the
other configuration issues. I don't want SUPERCLEVER installation
engines, I just want to
know what is going on!!
