I wanted to upgrade to KDE 2.1 from 1.1.2 so I did the following:

apt-get install kdebase task-kde noatun

It got them and installed them correctly it seems, but whenever I startx it only gives me an eterm. Nothing else.

I don't have alot of time to fool around with getting it to work, so I would like to go back to the way my system was.

Is there a way to apt-get back out of an upgrade? So that it will remove the new stuff and re-install the old stuff again?

TIA! :(

Now that looks like it will remove what I installed.....but will it reinstall the previous version for me?
