1. replace "stable" for "testing" on /etc/apt/sources.list (*optional,
many people would recommend against this for a newbie).
2. apt-get update (Proceed to 2.1 if you DID change stable for testing
else go to 3.)
2.1 apt-get dist-upgrade
2.2 apt-get install linux-image-2.6.16-1-386 (686 if it applies and
2.3 apt-get install remove --purge hotplug (
2.4 apt-get install udev
2.5 reboot and proceed to 3.
3. apt-get install kde x-window-system-core
This should get you going, the hardest thing will be X configuration.
Don't know any good docs about configuring X maybe someone else can
provide help with this and there's always google...
