+ Configure the supplementary KDE release in YaST. - Launch YaST - Select "Change Source of Installation" - Select "FTP..." or "HTTP..." from the "Add" pop-up - Fill in the pertinent mirror iformation. For example: + FTP Server Name: mirror.mcs.anl.gov (*) Directory on Server: /pub/suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source Confirm / OK - Click "Finish" (*) Choose a mirror suitable to your geographical location. Look here to find one: http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.h.... You might have to experiment with different mirrors to find one that gives good performance. And don't forget that in the period shortly following a major release like this, load on the mirror servers can be very high. It took me three hours to download the KDE 3.4 upgrade packages two days ago. Now you'll be back in YaST's Control Center. + Select YaST Install and Remove Software. - Select "Package Groups" from the "Filter" pop-up. - Choose the "zzz all" group (last in the list) - From the Package menu select: "All in this List -> Update if newer version available". - Select "Search" from the "Filter" pop-up. - Search for "cyrus-sasl" - From the list of packages found, select for installation all except cyrus-sasl-devel. Start the installation. You have a lot of data to download, so you better have a high-speed connection and I'd just find something else to do while the download and installation proceeds. If your network connection is not reliable, I'd find another way (a topic for another note). Once the installation has completed, log out and back in. You should have KDE 3.4.

Welcome and good luck! Feel free to ask for clarification. (And please don't be alarmed if I cannot respond for a few hours. I'm moving my system into a new case, and there's lots of careful work to do. Mostly likely others can help you, too.) Randall Schulz

Thanks Randall. Your instructions for upgrading to kde 3.4 is very clear. I successfully upgraded to kde 3.4 on my SuSe 9.1. I had to make one minor change to the directory on server. Here is the new path Directory on Server: /pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source -Deepa

I don't know how that got that way. An editing goof while I was composing the mail, I suppose. Oh, I see what happened. I copied the value for the suse.cs.utah.edu mirror by mistake. (I have that mirror configured as well, though it's currently disabled.) So keep in mind that different mirrors organize the upper levels of their directories differently.

I'm looking to do the same upgrade from 9.1 3.2.1>>3.4. Why do you use the yast-soruce directory instead of the other rpm directories (i.e. base, applications, etc.)?? Thanks, -- Jim Flanagan linuxjim@jjfiii.com

Looks like a good idea. Will KDE 3.4 run in as little as 256mb? I am using 9.1 on a PII 350Mhz which is otherwise running just fine. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

SUSE 9.2 Pro, KDE 3.4 Level a, AMD K6 380MHz , 192MB, 6GB HDD and its running. Slow compared to GHz+ machines but it works. XFce4 or Ice are a little faster but the HDD is slow. KDE 3.4 seems snappier on the machines I've loaded it on so far. This is the slowest I have to play. Stan
