Hi, IMHO, it's too late to change things now for Lenny. But I guess, we'll need to re-discuss the situation after Lenny release for KDE 4 series.
Especially when I read this: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3416 and the nice screenshot here: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:OS11.0beta1-inst7.png > That said, anyone that _has_ heard of KDE should find all they want to > know here: > > http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde3.html > > on the other hand, I'd guess that Debian newbies are most likely to end up > here: > > http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/ > > which does not appear to have a direct link to the installing page. The link exist: on the left, in the menu, under "Try KDE!", "KDE 3.5" is the direct link to http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde3.html > KDE Folks, > Might I suggest that the front page be modified to have a link somewhere > prominent, near the top, linking to the page about how to get KDE > installed on debian > > Also, you should note that in Lenny the default desktop can be set by > adding: > > desktop=kde > > at the boot prompt (which you can get to by hitting <TAB> in the boot > menu. > > Also, note that "desktop" in that case is an alias for > tasksel:tasksel/desktop so it can also be preseeded by providing a line > like: > > tasksel tasksel/desktop string kde > > in a preseed file, so you could produce custom KDE media either by > tweaking the {sys,iso,pxe}linux.cfg files to include "desktop=kde", or by > adding a preseed.cfg to the root of your initrd image, containing the above > line. Thanks, we will update the instructions for Lenny. cheers, Fathi -- http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-talk
