Title: How should I download KDE?
Post by: Joe on June 15, 2005, 08:55:22 AM
I want to install KDE on my Ubuntu linux box, but apt-get doesn't handle dependancys any more than listing them. There about twomilliongazillion of them, and typing each one out would be suicide for my fingers. Any idea how to deal with this?

Download the source and compile it? I never tried it this way, I usually get the Slackware Packages because I'm lazy.

QuoteBut do bear this in mind: no question is too silly to ask, but some are too silly to answer, especially when they are already answered in this FAQ.

I don't mean to dig up an old thread, but... you better have a lot of patience if you are planning on compiling KDE rather than installing it from a package.  KDE takes literally around 46 hours to compile, with dependencies.

Soooo patience :)
