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:
> 1) Launch the YaST Control Center: KDE Launch Menut -> System -> YaST.
> 2) Click "Change Source of Installation"
> 3) Click "Add" and seelct "FTP..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
> 4) 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/yast-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

Up to here, everything is OK (as far as I can tell...). However, this
part:

... 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:
8) 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packages that have been superceded by the KDE 3.3 release and which will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.

Sorry for the initial misinformation!
