    recipe for installing kde3 desktop from 9.10 in 10.04?

    greetings.

    first, i'm delighted that everyone who likes and uses kde4 does so. i don't want to start the usual flame war, a discussion of philosophy, or an argument over whose is bigger.

    second, i'm a kde3 user and i just upgraded my desktop machine from 8.04 lts to 10.04 lts, figuring that the kde3 binaries tim pearson has produced would be installed. which they weren't. i know, i should have checked. the 10.04 kde3 remix isn't ready yet.

    it occurs to me that there may be no binary incompatability, though, between the kde3 from the 9.10 kde3 remix and 10.04, in which case it should be possible to grab and install them. but there seems to be some subtlety involved as to the order of installation and so on.

    is there a recipe for doing this? has anyone done it? or of finding and installing beta code for the pearson 10.04 version?

    or, for that matter, an apt-get wildcard for installing -kde3 apps?

    thanks in advance.
