KDE desktop instead of gnome

[kaven]

How can i install kde on debian?
apt-get install kde (OK)
apt-get remove gdm (OK)
but still debian uses gnome.How can i switch between them?
Thanks in advance.

You need to install kdm and kde core:

#apt-get install kdm kde-core

After that i must chose the kde session right?

[Manchunian]

Yes, if I remember right (it's been a long time since I did this) you need to log out. You should then be greeted by the kdm log in screen, and from here you'll be able to log into kde.

Thank you.

Has it worked?

I would suggest you to use aptitude instead of apt-get. One should avoid apt-get for installing meta-packages.

One should avoid apt-get for installing meta-packages.

Why? Just out of curiosity...

Has it worked?

nah, i haven't tried yet but looking forward to.
Also seems you have no confidence that it works at all

I do have confidence that it works because it's something I've done loads of times before. You just never know what sort of issues can arise...

Note: for the record, I use Fluxbox: far superior to kde in my opinion.
