Is there any suggested way to install kde and remove gnome completely (because gnome has a lot of gtk dependent apps which are not very nice-looking in kde) ? Is it enough to remove trisquel-desktop package and install kubuntu-desktop or it will cause a dependency mess?

There has to be a detailed walkthrough for how to safely do this somewhere out there. Just use Google!

I had not a very good experience installing kubuntu-desktop, here you have a summary: http://trisquel.info/es/forum/trisquel-35-awen-release-announcement . You may try in any case and see what happens. As for improving the look of gtk applications under KDE, installing "kcm-gtk" should help (it seems to be a new version of "gtk-qt-engine").

I managed to get KDE running but only for a session. I restarted the system
and now nothing works (not even the terminals, the system barely boots).
Now I am trying a new clean install to virtualbox in order to be able to
play safe. I will report any good results.

I install the package kde-full to get KDE on. Not sure how to remove GNOME.

I can suggest a way to install only KDE without Gnome but it a bit harder that a regular install.

If you know how to Debootstrap a debian system, then it should be easy. Debootstrap installs only the base system with out x or any main packages installed, than you can simply install what you want.

Here is the site I user to debootstrap: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html

I will explain what I did different from this site for trisquel.

First I booted a live cd, any linux live cd will do. Then I Partitioned my disk the way I wanted with Gparted whitch is already installed on the trisquel live cd.

For Trisquel Awen I first debootstrap Ubuntu Jaunty, then when it finishes change the sources to trisquel. If you'r using the trisquel live cd, you can use the same sources.list file from the cd. You can copy the following 4 files from /etc/apt to make it simple like I did. "secring.gpg" "trustdb.gpg" "trusted.gpg" "sources.list"

Then in the chroot terminal type:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

When that finishes you have a minimal Trisquel Awen System. Now just install kde-full.
sudo apt-get install kde-full

Then you shall live happily ever after. THE END

I forgot, you need to install a kernel.
apt-get install linux-image

Grub will be installed but then you have to install it to the MBR (Master Boot record).
From the host terminal type:
sudo grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda (replace sda with your hard disk lable)

Then from the chrooted terminal type:
update-grub

You might need to mount something else with the bind option to the chrooted environment for it to work. Look up any errors and you should solve it.

Hope i did not make it too confusing.

Thank you -- I was just about to ask something similar. Next step -- is there a way, once one has an environment set up in the way one likes, to turn this into a livecd? I'm sorry, I don't have much experience in this, but I wanted to test the waters for a Trisquel KDE distribution, now that we have an LXDE version. (Great job on that, BTW! :) )

jakel,

Our plates are pretty full as it is, so you may be waiting a very long time (or potentially, forever) for an official KDE edition.

That's fine -- thanks for the info. Perhaps (someday) I could help out with that or an Xfce remix, much as mclaud2000 has done for the Gamer disc. At least the software is already in the repos and relatively easy to install, which is great!

Cheers,

The source is all yours! You could even make a whole new fully-free distro out of it, if you wished. That's Free Software.

Amen! ;) I've been trying not to sound like a zealot to my friends, but I still remember years ago telling someone, "surely it's not crazy to want to have this set of tools that no one can ever take away from you, right?"

Wow -- that looks great -- thanks! Another system I was looking at was Barry Kauler's Woof (the "Puppy builder"), which can also build from Debian-based repos, but Live Magic looks at lot easier for what I want.

Yours,
