Gnome 2 and KDE 3 on Woody
I have Debian 3.0 (Woody) installed on a system, and I'd like to get
Gnome 2 and KDE 3 on it. The old versions of Gnome and KDE are already
installed. I've looked around for some documentation, but it is pretty
sparse because all this is so new. This is a question for those who have
Debian 3.0 (stable) on their systems, who have gotten Gnome 2 and KDE 3
to work.
1) Do I need to uninstall the old versions in order for the new versions
to work properly? If so, how would I go about a thorough uninstall of
these apps?
2) What entries do I need in my sources.list? I tried putting some in
from some websites I found, but 'apt-get update' just told me that some
of them could not be resolved. Is it enough to just have 'deb
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib' in
there? Or do I need 'experimental' in there too?
3) When installing Gnome 2 and KDE 3, do I need to specify "-t unstable"
when I run 'apt-get install'? Or "/unstable" after the package name? Or
is it 'experimental'? I want every other component on my system to come
from the stable branch, except for whatever is necessary for Gnome 2 and
KDE 3.
4) Exactly which packages do I need to specify in 'apt-get install' in
order to get Gnome 2 and KDE 3?
Thanks,
Mike
