aerogate Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi, Recently upgraded 2008.0 to 2008.1, I would also like to try KDE 4, i notice it`s in the repos, how do I go about upgrading to KDE 4, is it simply a case of selecting KDE 4 rpm`s in rpmdrake?

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) As long as you have your repos setup it's there. Just make sure the two drop down boxes to the left in the Software Management window both say All. Install task-kde4 that will pull in what it needs.

aerogate Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 excellent, thanks, I shall go for that, and let you know how I get on :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogate Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 for the benefit of other people this is what task-kde4 does........... Metapackage for KDE4​  This package is a meta-package, meaning that its purpose is to contain the complete dependencies for running the KDE4 desktop ( plus Amarok2, Koffice2, ...)
