But I can't really afford to spend much more time on that machine this week. It turns out, Mint Debian uses their own frozen Debian Testing repo. I guess that makes it sorta Squeeze compatible, but clearly it's not 100%. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

This is probably because the Debian metapackage was not built in the nightly builds yet. I'll look into it. Tim

I did this afternoon a chroot base (debootstrap) "install" of wheezy and proceeded to install Trinity to it. Rather than the "official" method (which uses metapackages, e.g. kde-trinity) I used a custom list of TDE applications for a "light" TDE. My list is posted here: http://paste.debian.net/131358/ I could convert this to a "real" install later, but for now I want to see what dependency issues there might be. I identified the following, all of which are deprecated in Wheezy but available (and installable) from Squeeze : libavahi-qt3-1 libsensors3 libmtp8 libpoppler-qt2 libpoppler5 There may be others in a more full TDE setup. So far it seems that enabling Squeeze repos in Wheezy still allows TDE to install without errors. Hope this helps anyone wanting to try Testing, maybe even LMDE or Sid

Yes, I fully agree with you. I think there was someone who did put together an installable ISO image of Trinity on Debian (it was called EXE Linux if I remember correctly). Oh, and here is a friendly reminder not to top-post. ;-) Tim

Exe is still regularly maintained and has been refined considerably (although is still "experimental") since I posted details some time back. I have still not seen another TDE/Debian live build. Exe is based on Squeeze and defaults to a "light" TDE. It has installers for hard disk and pendrive (and a remaster utility). English (UK and US) and Spanish locale/language support are built-in.

Any other questions or comments, please make a new subject thread (it needs some more testers) Getting back "on-topic" (LMDE). Clearly Mint is among the top distros with an army of devs, a very professional and polished appearance and out-of-the-box multimedia and hardware support. A lot of that probably ties in with it's own default desktop. In any "rolling release" based on testing surely either core system components or it's ability to run TDE could break at any time. Maintaining testing (or Sid) is not simple even for experienced Debian users (I ran Sid myself for many years, till KDE4 came in) In it's lifetime as current stable, Squeeze is good, runs TDE and it won't break. That's enough reasoning for me to stay with straight Debian, Squeeze for main machine and Testing/Sid for experiments. By the way, yesterday's Wheezy installed just fine with TDE. TDE itself is probably still not yet "polished" enough, with many still unresolved bugs, for the major distos to use it; though I know TDE devs are doing a marvellous and ongoing job. It is even now (with a few tweaks) plenty good enough for me to use on my Debian boxes in preference to any current "mainstream" DE I know of. David
