How would I go about installing KDE 3.3 on dsl? I am prepared to do the work. I have been told that it would need a new version of the X window system, what else would I need to do and how would I go about doing this?

Programming won't be a problem as I am fluent in c/C++

DSL has almost none of the requirements for KDE. It takes a ton of work to get going.

I would start with setting up the Xfree86.dsl

But really, if you want KDE, you might want to try Debian.

Nah, I'm determined to get it working with dsl.

Hmm...

Just a thought.  Haven't done it myself:

(1) download and install gnu-utils.dsl and dpkg.dsl
(2) open up an xterminal and type:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Change the "testing" line to say "unstable" or "experimental" instead of "testing".  Save the file and exit nano.

apt-get update
apt-get install kde


It might work.  No guarantees.
