I need help....

I installed Zenwalk 4.4.1 on a friend's computer... and he wants KDE..... I need some instructions on how to do that... can anybody help?

He said he is using Zenwalk 4.4.1. "netpkg kdebase" will require an upgrade to 4.6.1 (otherwise this could brake your install). You would be better with a fresh 4.6.1 install, but if you want to upgrade use the wiki and only after that install KDE.

Unless something changed, there is a 'full/complete' repository of the ZenWalk-4.4.1 which can be found as 'previous'. One 'mirror' has it as:

http://download.zenwalk.org/i486/previous/

If you add that one to the /etc/netpkg.conf, you should be able to select this 'previous' as your mirror, and install kde (the 3.5.6 version, which is the 'active one for ZenWalk-4.4.1) 'as usual' from there.

Please consider that 'previous' is kept 'on suspended animation': it is not really actively developed/supported, but kept alive for cases as you mention. I do not know if this repository is mirrored very widely, so i'm not sure if you can find it at all places that carry a 'standard' mirror of zenwalk.

Thaks a lot prfaasse! I really, really needed the 4.4.1 repository back! I can confirm that http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 6/previous mirror works.

And for kde only: i am lazy to 'clean up': for better or worse, the kde builds for previous zenwalk versions can still be found in sub-directories of:

http://download.zenwalk.org/people/prfaasse/

'All ther way back' to zenwalk-2.4 . Not that i want to encourage all to much that anyone starts 'digging' into all my previous mistakes/errors w.r.t kde-building   

thanks... I will try this and get back to you guys on what happens..
