I have a happily-running 11.3 RC1 Gnome installation, from DVD Build 675. I would like to add KDE, preferably 4.4.4, although the DVD is loaded with 4.4.3. Can this be done in one pass, or should I add 4.4.3 from the DVD, then upgrade to 4.4.4 ?
(11.3 RC1 replaced an 11.2 KDE & Gnome base on one of two laptops). The current 11.3 RC1 platform is: Gateway MX7340, 1GB, 250GB HD, Intel 855GM, BCM4318 (aka “Air Force One”) wireless.

Add kde4-base, it should auto add kde4-desktop
to up to 4.4.4

Done and functional! A few minor things need tidying, but the positives are great! The problem(s) with touchpads/tapping is sorted. The only serious problem was the display behaved poorly at first, with flashing and overlays. Unchecking “desktop effects” and all is once again behaving.
I will be looking into the desktop effects soon.
Thanks!
enjoy yourself;)
