Darren Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I've not been using Linux long so please forgive me if this is a stupid question or anything. I would like to update KDE to the latest version, but dont seem to be doing very well. I've searched here so far and found some RPMs, and another subjected that suggested a line of code to do with urpmi that downloaded the base, they all seem to have either installed or downloaded something, but I'm still on KDE 3.3 Is there an idiots guide I could possible follow or someone advise me where I am going wrong. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Here is a real good thread on this: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=27115 Also, search for recent threads by AussieJohn, one of our pre-eminent members here. He's just gone through this conversion to KDE 3.4 and has posted several messages about his experience. But here's some advice - advice is free so that's what it may be worth. But you said you are fairly new to linux. In my opinion, you shouldn't be trying this unless you have some pretty solid experience under your belt. You could get in trouble real quick, and find that you've messed up your install and have to start over with a re-install. But if you're adventurous and want to give it a go, and just chalk it up to an accelerated learning experience, then go for it. But be forewarned!

Steve Scrimpshire Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Very, very wise words from jboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Thanks for the replies. I'm not too fussed about making a mess of this installation at the moment as its only on an old 8gb hard drive, once my new drive arrives I'll put the permanent install on there.
