The big problem is: Wheezy is where debian defaults to kde4 and there is no choice.
I do not understand this. There are at least two times during a Wheezy install where one can choose:
- What desktop environment to install, XFCE, LXDE,KDE,
So where's the choice for kde3? Not there afaict. Neither does a package search locate anything. I thought it was obvious we were discussing kde variants, not completely different desktops.
From the first boot menu choose 'advanced options>alternate desktop environments> 2. boot menu> Expert install , you walk through all the choices, more time consuming. 3. Or if you happen to hit the 'Install' or ' Graphical Install' option from the boot menu you can always unselect the 'desktop environment' during the 'Tasksel' phase.
I have been using TDE 3.5.14, nightly builds, on Wheezy works well here. I always do a base/standard Wheezy net install, add Trinity sources, install TDE.
So I'm asking for baby steps for that process. I don't want to read something into that brief description and mess up a critical work system. I've had systems go bad due to package version messups before and I don't want to get it wrong. Many thanks to all for their help.
