Updating Knoppix HD install to KDE 3.2 beta?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me out with this?

I've been looking around trying to find a way to do this, and I've come close, but the source I added to sources.list, I think had something wrong cause I couldn't install kdelibs-data

I've got the last release of knoppix, I need to reinstall or re-enable the kde that was installed, but I sure could use a walkthrough if someone has pulled this off.

Thanks guys.

Ok... So I got no help here... Thats alright, I can't expect miracles from neowin.

6 hours of struggle and 2 reinstalls I got it!

with a Dist-upgrade to SID and a decent source for the KDE beta, I was beaten down by a broken pipe (whatever that meant)

With the broken pipe on kdelibs-data some files failed dependancys (konquror being the main one), having done this a few times I knew that a reboot would mean death (at least to me)

Used dpkg --force -i kdelibs-data, , had to use Kpackage to install Konqueror (manually downloaded the Package from the site) then an apt-get update got the system running again

reboot real quick and bang!!!! runing KDE 3.1.95 (3.2 beta)

sweetness,

Now its a matter of... Do I try to install the 2.6.1 kernel or do I just wait for the rumored 3.4 knoppix CD to get me going...

Hey, thanks for posting your solution.

I saw your message, but was of no help to your situation :no:

I'm still a noob in many ways. :(
