    Hello Andreas,

    I did the above and when I updated the etc/apt/souces.list I opened access to
    the security updates from Debian.

    When I did the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, nearly three hours of
    upgading (on my dialup system, I live in the country) went on. After that I
    did "apt-get upgrade kde" and some upgrading seemed to go on. After it was
    finished I re-booted Debian but as far as I can see it is still KDE 2.2.2. I
    did apt-get upgrade konqueror and it is still the 2.2.2 version. Am I missing
    something somewhere.

    Thank you,

    Bill.
