Heres' the code for latest dist-upgrade of kanotix 2005-4 to the latest:

:: Code ::
dpkg --purge hal pptpd dbus-1 dbus
#Ctrl+Alt+F1 - to get to console mode
#logon as root, type
init 3
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install hal dbus
fix-fonts

run ati or nvidia script if needed [DO NOT USE synaptic for dist-upgrade]

or just start the process in init 3, that's easier

kernel upgrades are a separate process

DO NOT USE THIS: IT CAUSES GTK APPS LIKE FIREFOX TO CRASH

:: Code ::
apt-get install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt

The gtk2-engines.. is seriously buggy, and will completely destabilize firefox. And probably other applications. I read elsewhere that simply installing another theme on firefox would resolve that issue but it didn't.

will add gtk support to gnome stuff running in kde. this adds a menu item in kde control center, under appearances and themes: GTK styles and Fonts.

This helps maintain consistent appearance between kde and gnome apps. Firefox, thunderbird, for example, are gnome apps mainly, OOo too I think.

For sound card not working, as root run:

alsaconf

then if the settings don't stick on reboot, run:

alsactl store
