What do you get after hd installing?

[KevB]

If you just want the newer software like KDE and others then you could use the backports for woody from apt-get.org it will save you space from the all excess programs you will never use on a HD install.

Thanks, this seems like my best option as my HD isn't that big. I did try adding a source for KDE 3 to my apt-get configuration before but it never updated and left me with KDE 2.2 or whatever is in stable?

Is there an idiots guide to installing KDE 3.1 onto Debian Woody?
