Hi Tim,
Thanks for that!
I will for the moment stay with Gnome, but I use KDE applications I don't
want to leave, such as Kile and Kdvi.
I posted at the Ubuntu forum and the Feedback page, the following problem:
After tweaking the repository, I could install kile-kde3 and kdvi-kde3
without problem.
Now I can even run these programs with a huge command like
PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/kde3/games:/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH
KDEDIRS=/usr/:/opt/kde3/ KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde3/share/:/usr/share/ MANPATH=/opt/kde3/share/man kile
but I can't click on a .tex or .kileprj file to open with Kile, and I don't
have Kile or Kdvi on the applications menu.
I know it is probably ridiculously easy to fixe these, but I don't know how
to. Specially I don't know how to set the environment varibles.
Do you consider including the automated procedure as an option to the kde3
Ubuntu/Kubuntu version?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Leo

I know KDE3.5 will apply itself properly to a clean
system (i.e. one
without KDE installed already). I don't know if Gnome will.
My recommendation would be to install the Gnome CD, then install KDE3 on
top of that.

Hi everyone,
If I'm doing a brand new installation, and I will use Gnome in the end,
but
with some KDE applications, what is best?
Install the ISO for Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE 3.5 and then install Gnome Desktop
or
Install official Ubuntu release and follow
http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/install.html
?
Thanks in advance
:-)
