Debian Help

[Kingoftherings]

I'm using Debian 4.0r2 Etch, and I'm trying to get the Testing/Unstable/Experimental branches set up.

I got the Experimental working, and I got the URL for sources.list from:
http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html

Yes, I am trying to install KDE 4   magician;

On that page is a link to set up the unstable branch:
http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning

The URL provided here, will not work.  Synaptic refuses to even load packages that do work.
And the page mentions something about /etc/apt/preferences, but I don't have that file

Then use the LiveCD's from the KDE site. Most major distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE, ect) likely aren't going to really work with KDE4 until the next major releases.

I hate LiveCDs 
They're so slow...

Yes, perhaps I should just wait for Kubuntu 8.04

No. Stay the fuck away from Kubuntu, I've had some really nasty issues with it in the past. However, getting Ubuntu or Xubuntu and installing KDE on top of them works.

Thats what I'm doing right now.  I installed 7.10, then changed the gutsy repos to hardy repos, and upgraded to Hardy, and I'm downloading KDE4 now.   caterpie;
