Hi all, Forgive my ignorance of what is probably a simple problem, but today is the first time I have installed debian. I am thinking about changing the distribution on my work station from redhat to debian but I don't want to do that without installing it on a machine I don't mind destroying, which is what I'm at today.
I've added the following to my /etc/apt/sources.list deb ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.5/Debian/woody ./ deb-src ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.5/Debian/woody ./ I've rebuilt qt3 with the -no-xft removed from the build rules and increased the version number of the packages from 4 to 5 with information I have found in achieves of this list. apt-cache search kdebase lists the kde 2.2 debs on my local mirror before those on the kde ftp site. I'm working on the assumption that if I issue the apt-get install kdebase command that it would install the kde 2.2 debs from the local debian mirror and not the kde ftp site. So how do I install the kde version from ftp.kde.org and not the version from my local debian mirror?
