I have a spare laptop that Id like to experiment with.
Ideally I would like to install sidux on it with KDE 4.1.
I understand that I would have to install sidux live cd then upgrade to KDE 4.1.
This is not a problem as it is just a test (may not work).
Does anyone have steps how to do this (for example would i need to change the sources.list file ?)
Thanks in advance.

Look here:
http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html
Just use apt-get instead of aptitude and everything should work fine.
The part "Upgrading installed experimental KDE 4 packages automatically" is handy, too.
I'm using KDE4.1 since beta 2 that way and had no serious problems so far. |

| I'm going to get a live disk of it myself, for the time being. I guess it's going to be another couple of months before Lenny goes stable and 4.1 enters Sid. |

hmm interesting, none of the instructions work.
by this I mean that when I follow the instructions and enable the experimental stuff I cannot install the following :-
kdebase-workspace
kdeplasmoids
The error I get is "package not found"
So clearly I must be looking at kde 3 still yet my sources list is now set (as per the instructions) to :-
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
any ideas ? |

the "package not found" error is strange - did apt-get update show any errors? Maybe you could try another mirror?
I currently use kdeplasma-addons instead of kdeplasmoids (currently stuck at version 4.0.82, or something like that...) |

I ran the apt-get update and had no errors
I just wonder if the mirror I am using has not updated yet
funny thing is, If i reinstall kde 3 and then use synaptic I can see some kde 4 packages :-
kdebase-runtime
kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4
systemsettings
So I know that I have enabled the correct repositries in the sources.list
I will have a play here still and advise |

when i run 'apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace', I get the error :-
W: Unable to locate package kdebase-workspace
It would appear that core package does not exist. |

checking the kde website and it would appear that all variants of Linux are not catered for yet :-
ftp://kde.mirror.anlx.net/stable/4.1.0/
maybe I am jumping the gun a bit and i should wait a few days to install kde 4.1 |

I wanted to have a look at Kde 4.1 and thought a live distro was the simplest option so downloaded Suse 4 live from here. Which now has kde 4.1

ftp.de.debian.org over here, too.
maybe it really is just a mirror problem.
I got 4.1.0 from the debian repos two days ago |

I tried with ftp.de.debian.org and still the same problem.
If I install synaptic and search for kde 4 only the runtime for kde 4 exists.
I have got around this problem by downloading the suse kde 4.1 live cd and I must say KDE 4.1 looks great and runs really well.
I wonder when it will become available for sid ?
