So I've correctly ran Konstruct to upgrade from KDE 3.2.3. to KDE 3.3.2. And I've done the "export KDE=DIR...etc" stuff it told me too, and yet it still does not run 3.3.2.
All the KDE files are just sitting there in my /root/kde3.3.2 folder. I can run them from there, but is there anyways to actually INSTALL them?
THanks
Full Version: problem with KDE3.3.2 from 3.2.3 via Konstruct
Mandrake uses urpmi to install software. KDE 3.3.2 is at Thacs (http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac/index10.1.html urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac/10.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz). Use that to install KDE.
Good luck

what would i run after having added that to urpmi?
To begin with urpmi kdebase. After that whatever you want 
. Look in the Mandrake control center, software install what you want to install.

Any ideas?
Is thacs.rpms added as one of your repositories? What do you get when you type: urpmi kdebase ?.
The hdlist.cz in the base directory does not contain the rpms in the subdirectories where kde 3.3 is.....
Yes I have.
When I try urpmi kdebase with just the thacs rpm respositories selected i get this message
no package named kdebase
When i try it with all respositores selected (plf, contrib, DVD,etc) I get
everything already installed message
is urpmi gone bad?

Try again. remove thacs.rpms
urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac/10.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz
Copy and paste this. I know it workd because I have done it myself

I have done that - removed thacs.rpms and added again.
I still get
Everything already installed
Any ideas?
Try a different mirror. urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/10.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz

Did that and then listed all the packages according to source in the install packages dialog and only the rpms in the main catalogue shows up....
What are the xeperiences of others?

You better use Cooker to get Kde 3.3.2
Cooker is not an upgrade source. It is an unstable development distribution.
