If your apt sources specify 'stable', then your system will be upgraded to KDE4 as soon as you do your first 'apt-get upgrade' after the Squeeze release - or as soon as you try to install any new KDE utility. There are no core KDE 3 applications in Squeeze and any third-party KDE stuff needs to work with KDE4 or it will be removed before Squeeze is released. (AFAICT this step has already been accomplished.) If you want to stay on KDE3 your only choice is Lenny (and changing your apt sources to specify 'lenny') but be aware that as soon as Squeeze is released, Lenny becomes oldstable and will disappear once Debian starts the move to the release after Squeeze. (The first action in preparing for a new Debian release is the removal of all packages from oldstable - this has already been done for Squeeze, so there are now no packages on the mirrors for Etch.) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
