Excellent instructions. Thank you The only error I have found is with the font installer in Kcontrol centre. packager. Any help with this please. On Thursday 19 August 2004 18:23, Randall R Schulz wrote:
Hi,
I need to correct these instructions. There's a serious flaw
To install this new release via the YaST installer mechanism, follow this
general procedure:
- Launch the YaST Control Center: KDE Launch Menut -> System -> YaST.
- Click "Change Source of Installation"
- Click "Add" and seelct "FTP..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
- In the resulting dialog, add the server name "ftp.gwdg.de" and the directory name
"/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/ya st-source"
and click "OK". Once the YaST software confirms the suitability of this network location as a source for installation you'll be back in the YaST Control Center. 5) Click "Install and Remove Software" 6) From the "Filter:" pop-up menu in the upper-left of the installer window, choose "Package Groups". 7) Scroll down to the "System" category and expand it (click the little plus sign) and then similarly expand the "GUI" category and click "KDE"
Up to here, everything is OK (as far as I can tell...). However, this
part:
Now in the list on the upper right you'll see all the packages in this group. Many of these packages will be shown in blue and should have check-marks in the box at the left. Scroll if necessary to the right to see the version numbers. The checked / blue packages should show a newer version number than the installed version (if any) and in many cases (though not necessarily all) those version numbers will be 3.3.0-n.
... is seriously flawed. Let me try again:
The blue entries are those for which a newer version is availble. However, as shown, those packages _will not_ be updated. To get all the newer packages installed:
- Select the menu command Packge -> All in This List -> Update if Newer Version Available.
After doing this, you'll see green/black lightening bolt icons in the packages that have been superceded by the KDE 3.3 release and which will be updated if you proceed.
Now, if you want to install KDE 3.3, click the "Accept" button in the lower right corner of the window.
Sorry for the initial misinformation!

I'm new to Linux and SuSE. Could you give me more detailed instructions on installing KDE 3.3 via YaST2. I don't know how to add the "yast-sourse" etc...
Thanks inadvance for your help.
