Has anyone tried re-installing a new version of knoppix over an older one and been able to keep the configuration the same? I want to install k3b, and my luck trying to get it installed has been fruitless. I hear that it works with the new knoppix version. I cant seem to get it in there though. i am not able to install k3b because of the kdelibs4 /libarts1 dependancies... and apt-get wont install those either because of a bunch of other dependencies. I followed a few other resources for installing KDE3.. which has kdelibs4 in it.. and after all the purging of kde and attempt to re-install kde from other sources, i still came up short.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
