Hi, I installed Ubuntu but after living with it for a while, I still prefer KDE. Don't get me wrong, it all works really well - but there are still parts of Gnome that look very Windows 98-ish - and all things considered, once you do a lot of configuration and tweaking, you can get KDE to look really very cool. I'm sure the same is true of Gnome - but KDE is also much more configurable than Gnome and has a lot more facilities.
Anyway, I have tried installing KDE in Ubuntu before - and it never seems to work as well, or be as well integrated as a native Kubuntu install.
The thing is I can't just install a clean version of Kubuntu - because I have put far too much work into my Ubuntu install (drivers, configuration etc). I think a big part of the problem with my past attempts to go from Ubuntu to KDE/Kubuntu is that I am never certain exactly which packages I need to install - so I end up trying to install everything that is even a little bit related to KDE. This is what seems to cause a lot of problems.
So I was wondering, can anyone tell me exactly what packages to install so that I will have the same packages in my Ubuntu install as are included in a default Kubuntu install?
Is there possibly a script that can do this that can help speed the process up a little? (Rather than selecting a whole bunch of individual packages).
