kde 3.5 for mint 6

Post by jozien »

I have installed mint 6 on my ThinkPad T60 and I think it is great,
everything is working fine including wireless but I prefer kde 3.5.
I know kde 4 is available for mint 6 but I don't think it's ready for prime time.
Is there a how-to to install kde 3.5 on mint 6?
Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

That is not possible
I won't go into details but the difference between KDE4 and 3.5 is too big

Thanks for the reply

Is there an iso available for an earlier version of mint that has kde 3.5?

I tried to download mint 5 kde but your server is so slow.
Only get 35KB /sec, it will take 19 hours to download.
There is a dvd of mint 5 kde available for $10.00, I may go that route.

Thanks again

35KB /sec
Eh?
At least ten times that is what you should get - depends of course on where you are and which server you select

I tried another server and was getting 300KB-1000KB and downloaded mint 5 kde in 45 mins.
Installed and am using it now. It is working fine.

Thanks again,
