KDE 3.4 isn't being uploaded to unstable (sid) as it would complicate preparations for the upcoming (yes, still) Sarge release. However, (experirmental) KDE 3.4 packages are available by adding the following repository to your sources.list
These debs are built by the usual Debian KDE packaging team, and have (for me) worked out fine. See also the Debian KDE maintainers' page on installing KDE 3.4 [debian.org]
That said, those who want to try out a Live CD with KDE 3.4 might want to take a look at the recent Kubuntu 5.04 (hoary) [kubuntu.org] release.

I sort of like ubuntu and they also ship the cds free which contains a live CD too.

I think maybe you read too much into my post, though. I was talking about rescuing people's stuff after Windows has screwed them. When that happens and you keep on using Windows, yes, that's foolish. There is, however, a difference between taking note of foolish behavior and calling someone a fool.

grammar nit... (Score:1, Offtopic)
"$NOUN has been released."
Is proper.
Or
"$NOUN is available for release."
(tenative)
Or
"$NOUN has been made available for release."
(past tense)
Anyways, it's a bad habit since I tend to write that as well...

I'm not sure, but is it not valid to force the tense that way?

released == past
Really that simple.
Put this another way, with that grammar you could write
"The post is wrote"
You could alternatively say "$NOUN was released" but normally you qualify that with a time, e.g. "was released today."
"has been released." indicates a sense of time... e.g. "very recent past".

I just installed Knoppix on a laptop the other day (Score:3, Informative)
Needless to say, Knoppix not only booted but managed to configure everything automatically. So I just did a "$ knx-hdinstall".
Funny thing is, the install process was actually a damn sight easier than a lot of non-live distros.

I remember using Knoppix for a while, then I downloaded a new version of it (after somehow losing the older one) and saw it had no nethack-type game...I was using Windows a lot more after that.

It may not work but is worth a try, even if your symptoms are different from mine. In my case, the drive was clicking and even the partition table seemed hosed. After a few hours in the freezer, I could copy all but a few files before it definitely died.
Of course, if in your case the drive is fine, but the partitions got damaged by software, it won't help and will probably destroy the drive.
Stupid female killed? (Score:3, Interesting)
OK, I'm too hard. And maybe in real life, she's a really nice person. Let's just remove the audio file of her voice and hang the idiot who recorded it and put it on the CD.
Or is the above mentioned idiot Mr Knopper himself? Well, we don't want to hang _him_.
There must be a solution...

All in all though, it is the live CD that works the most solidly across multiple hardware configs so if the *nix community can keep this up, they might eventually really have something to challenge Windows on desktops for clueless newbies.
