I would recommend looking at apt4rpm, worked fine for me. Tom On Thu, 27 Mar 2003, Dr John Satherley wrote:
Hi! I'm using SuSE8.1 professional and the version of KDE that came with this distribution followed by an online update with YAST. Consequently, most of the KDE modules are version 3.0.4. The whole system is very stable. At the moment it has been up for 41 days and during that time I've installed and uninstalled lots of things with absolutely no problems. I am particularly pleased about this stability as I have of recent times moved over from win98SE. I want to be a user of the programs that run under linux rather than spending my time tinkering with the innards of linux - although in the last 3 months I've done quite a bit of that. I want a stable, secure system that enables me to work more productively. Newer versions of KDE and other programs are appearing very frequently but I've noticed that many people seem to have teething problems with the newer versions. Although I would like to have access to a number of the new features in KDE3.1 and 3.11 will I be risking my new found stablity if I upgrade?
I guess my questions are:
1) If I want to keep the stablity should I wait and upgrade the distribution which will include the lastest version of KDE?
2) If its thought that it is safe to upgrade to 3.1 then what is the recommended method/route?
3) Given that it is OK to upgrade should I upgrade to KDE3.1 and then upgrade to 3.11 or can one jump from 3.0.4 to 3.11?
Any thoughts, comments, or answers will be gratefully received.
