create a directory, cd to it, run the wget command, go to bed, complete in morning.
Or do what I do and wait for a friend in the local linux group to make a cd of them for you. I am not convinced to get 9.3 yet so let me know how it goes.
9.3 works great. So does apt. The person who started this thread forced the upgrade or didn't watch what was being installed. The issue is that SUSE likes to change things EVERYTIME they do a new KDE release and the pkgs don't match up... this file gets move over to this pkg.. and that file gets moved over to that pkg. It screws everything up and one has to watch this. It only seems to really happen with KDE stuff. The usual fix is to uninstall the pkgs it does bitch about and then do the upgrade. I would then do a diff between what gets installed and what pkgs are available. This will let the user know if they have to install anything else after the fact. It's a pain the ass.. but if one wants to use apt it's what has to be done. It's only with dot releases that this happens.. not with new patched pkgs. -Ben -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
