Hi List
I have SUSE 9.0 installed with KDE 3.1. As an occasional user I am attempting to update to KDE 3.3.1. and need some handholding. I have downloaded all the KDE rpm files from the SUSE download site dated 12 Nov 2004. Then I have tried to install using YAST by first of all installing KDEbase3 when that failed due to dependency conflicts, I tried to install Kdelibs3 and that failed with different dependency conflict.
So I suppose what I am asking is, is there an order in which the rpm files need installing or is there another way of installing KDE 3.3.1 and if so can someone let me have the idiots guide.
Upgrade all kde packages all together, not one by one.
Cheers,
Leen
===========
Yep, Leen is right, just toss all the apps-base-devel files into one directory and have at it. rpm -Uhv *.rpm
Any conflicts or dependencies that show up then should be minor to deal with.

Why the -U option? rpm -F *.rpm is the initial way to go, it just upgrades the packages you have installed. If you get error-messages from that, you can look at their cause and take appropriate action. The -hv options look nice though, I had never noticed them before. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html
