From Testing back to Potato - or something!
Read the bottom part to gain a little history as to why I did the following
actions:
Basically, what happened is I installed GAIM per the instructions at the
bottom. Afterwards, however, I couldn't find even any file or directory
starting with gaim*.
So, I re-entered the ftp source for testing followed your instructions
again. It went through the same process all over again. So, this time I
didn't remove the ftp source from sources.list and went into dselect. Of
course, there were numerous apps listed that needed to be installed - or so
it felt. So, I let it go.
Now, although I am in the bash, I can't figure out for the life of me how to
get KDE to start.
Also, my PCMCIA card is down. I can't figure out how to get it back up in
order to even undo anything.
According to debian FAQs on testing, all testing apps are to be easily
removable so you can return to your former set up. But how do I do that?
HELP!
