<h3>Enabling the sid repository</h3> |
| 17 |
|
|
| 18 |
|
<p>KDE 4.2 requires some software that is not available in the Debian 5.0 "lenny" release. Therefore, it can only be installed on systems using the unstable branches.</p> |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
<blockquote> |
| 21 |
|
<pre style="margin-bottom:0;">deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main |

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main</pre> |
| 23 |
|
</blockquote> |
| 24 |
|
|
| 25 |
|
<p>You should replace ftp.de.debian.org by a |
| 26 |
|
<a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">mirror</a> near you.</p> |
| 27 |
|
|
| 28 |
|
<p>To enable unstable without upgrading your entire system, |

|

|
<!--<h3>Enabling the experimental branch</h3> |
| 32 |
|
|
| 33 |
|
<p>To install KDE 4.2, the experimental branch must be enabled. Add the following to <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>, then update APT.</p> |
| 34 |
|
<blockquote> |
| 35 |
|
<pre style="margin-bottom:0;">deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main |

|
<a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">mirror</a> near you.</p> |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
<p>APT will not install packages from experimental unless specifically requested. To install a package from experimental, run the command:</p> |
| 43 |
|
<pre>aptitude -t experimental install <em>package1</em> <em>package2</em> <em>package3...</em></pre>--> |

<!--<h3>Upgrading installed experimental KDE 4 packages automatically</h3> |

| 135 |
|
to keep them up-to-date to the latest releases in experimental. It is easy to do that with the help of APT pinning. Just |
| 136 |
|
add</p> |

<h3>Co-installable packages</h3> |
| 152 |
|
|
| 153 |
|
<p>You can co-install along your KDE 3 packages the following KDE 4 packages: <em>kdelibs5, kdepimlibs5, kdebase-runtime</em></p> |
| 154 |
|
|
| 155 |
|
<p>This is useful if you want to keep your KDE 3 enviroment but want to use a KDE 4 application like okular or even konsole. But remember KDE 4 apps will not integrate in your KDE 3 desktop so well as the current KDE 3 do.</p> |
