Hi. I have SuSE 8.1 installed on my computer. As I have only a 56k modem connection at home, the KDE 3.1 files are much quicker to download at work. SuSE's ftp server location from where the files are dowmloaded is ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.1. There are subdirectories for "base", "applications", etc. Is this the correct location? Having downloaded the files in these subdirectories, which of these directoies are manadatory updates and which are optional? To update KDE, can the downloaded RPM files be installed with Kpackage or Yast over the existing packages? Alternatively, does KDE have to removed before applying the upgrade? Your assistance ot help will be appreciated. LinuxWorld999 Registered Linux User #305521 http://counter.li.org
