I did not put a Packages file on the KDE mirrors as I don't want people
to rely on them. :) In the past (KDE 1.x) I had a nightmare keeping them
up to date..or just fixing stuff so I (even though they have a new method
for packages to maintain stuff) decided to just convince people to use
the kde.tdyc.com site (and it's mirrors) as the only place to go. Thus
the README which should reside on those KDE mirrors. (it better be there)
and..so...I continue below...

as you can see my first problem with this was the fact that I forgot to
upload libmng. :) I uploaded it later and am not sure if it was updated.
Please use the following apt line to grab your stuff...
