I performed a fresh install of KK as instructed in this post
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310303
I wanted the latest KK features but with KDE 3.5.
I did that, one of the first packages I want to install is KIMA - a kicker monitoring applet.
Problem: IT IS MISSING from the repositories. I did a search - apparently it's missing starting from 8.10
Please , could someone help me by telling me:
- is there any repository I should find my favourite app - Kima, or do I need it to download the hardy version and install it by hand;
- are there many application which were available on Hardy and missing starting from 8.10.
If it turns out that there are applications missing - I will gladly and f...ing angrily fall back to Hardy. What is the use of having a new distribution, if there are lots of useful and stable pieces of software missing from it? I don't understand - are we at a fashion show or are we in the practical computer world (or maybe they are more or less the same concept - I want the latest thing, beacuse it's the latest, no matter if it's the ugliest, clumsiest piece of crap).
Please help me, I am again frustrated at max by Ubuntu's_sometimes_unbearable_pain_in_the_***_rele ase_policy).
