As root...


1.  Configure apt to use the test rpms directory on YDL and mirrors'
servers as explained here (with a mirror being the preferred option)

<http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_2.2/apt-get.shtml>

Test it by installing something before moving to step 2.  Print out
the contents of the test rpms directory as a reference to use,
helpful  in keeping track of things as you go..

2. Kill X

3. Un-install kde 2 with the command on the Terrasoft kde 3 how-to:

rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde` koffice kio-mac SDL-devel [ENTER]

4.  Do:

   apt-get install kdebase

   (which is enough to re-startx and be up and running kde3).

5. Use apt to add on the rest from there.
