mdemers883 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Well since I'm a n00b I've been toying aroudn with linux for the last couple of weeks. Being the n00b that I am I've tried installing a bunch of stuff (a lot of it didn't work) so I got some stuff thrown around on my system that is making it messy (I'm not a fan of this) so I'm thinking of reinstalling SuSE 9.0 for something to do tonight ( the more I tinker around with linux the more I learn...naturally) and so I can reinstall everything cleanly now that I know how to go about it. My question is, has anybody tried the new KDE 3.2? If so, how do you like it and how did you go about upgrading to it? Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Go here, http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=s.../SuSE/ix86/9.0/ Find a mirror with the least amount of "hours" and download all the packages. go to the dir you download them to and rpm -Uvh *.rpm I would suggest makeing a seperate dir for just your kde rpms so Upgrade wont try and install other stuff you have in there. If all go's well you should be good to go. You might run into some dependency's, just check and see what they are and try and fix them. Another thing you can do is from "root" # init 3 Loging as root, change to your dir were all the kde rpms are and do the. #rpm -Uvh *.rpm If everything goes good, run #SuSEconfig Then #init 5 Login and enjoy kde-3.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdemers883 Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 I figured it out, I enlarged my text in the browser and I could see that there was a "--" before level instead of the "-" I was using :P Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently downloading all the rpm's for 3.2, taking a long time but I'm sure it's a big file size for all those rpms. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
