I think you're not familiar enough to install something like kde3 from sourcecode, so you should get a packaged version. Put this into your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian woody main And then do a apt-get update. After that you can install KDE3 with apt-get install kdelibs4 kdebase kdenetwork kdepim kdeaddons ... Andreas -- Generosity and perfection are your everlasting goals.
