Some questions are so basic, I guess, that they don't get added to the FAQ. Getting an FTP client up and running (on my Knoppix HD install) would seem to be one of those.

I know I can use Konqueror, and I've found command-line FTP, but since I'm a total newbie I want to get used to installing programs. It looks like KBear (http://kbear.sourceforge.net/) is a nice GUI FTP client, so I'm trying to install it. And I'm getting dependency errors, so I'm trying to install the things it's dependent on.

http://www.debian.org/ is a handy resource for installing apps, so I'm getting the .deb from there. Actually, I'm copying the URL of the .deb file from Opera (which I did get installed, whee!) to KPackage. KBear had a few dependency problems, so I tried grabbing one of them, kdelibs3. But it doesn't want to install either:

Selecting previously deselected package kdelibs3.
dpkg: regarding .../kdelibs3_2.2.2-13.woody.8_i386.deb containing kdelibs3:
kdelibs4-dev conflicts with kdelibs3 (<< 4:3.0.0)
kdelibs3 (version 4:2.2.2-13.woody. is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing //root/.kpackage/kdelibs3_2.2.2-13.woody.8_i386.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing kdelibs3
Errors were encountered while processing:
//root/.kpackage/kdelibs3_2.2.2-13.woody.8_i386.deb
Any suggestions for a) a more newbie-install-friendly FTP client or b) the right way to install KBear?

(And if you have a chance, I'd like to know why KPackage takes soooooo long to show the dialog when I hit File/Open)
