I changed a laptop to Debian Jessie, sadly to discover afterwards what I should have looked up first, that Trinity is not yet fully released for Jessie.
I should have looked. I should have looked. I should have looked.
Mea maxima culpa.
So anyway, I put the mirror.xcer.cz mirror in place, but haven't found the "install full desktop" meta-package to start the ball rolling.
Can someone remind me what it's called?
Arigato,

Arigato,

If you *really do* want the meta of everything you need plus what you probably don't, it's "tde-trinity".
I would really like to see a "tde-lite" meta although I usually do mine from a custom package list.
Here, jessie + r14 from mirror.xcer.cz is a very nice, stable system with only an occasional glitch after upgrade.

Thank you. It's a work machine, I have so much disk space that I can't fill up with my personal stuff, so it doesn't matter. :^)
While Xfce works, there are wonderful little things in Trinity that I greatly miss.

Glad to hear it. I look forward to the official-whatever in the hopefully near future.

Why not use it now?

Bah! Only one gig for the entire functioning desktop? Trivial!

Yes, here too. One glitch initially after my first upgrade. I made a mistake and couldn't retrieve it acceptably, so I reinstalled, and now love it. I'm a little chary of upgrading. ;-)
But for Jessie it does have to be from Slávek. The main repos aren't Jessie-ready yet.

The only reason there isn't an official TDE release for Jessie is that when R14.0.0 was released, Jessie was still a testing distro and so it didn't make sense to have an official TDE build for a still-changing distro. Anyhow I used TDE on Jessie for over a year prior to its release and never had any major problem. Cheers Michele

I'm glad it's available, and it certainly is working. A SSD arrived and I did Jessie and TDE on it last night, simply copying my home directory over so all the settings, look, feel, etc, all came over flawlessly.
