Hello Gerrit

Thank you for your reply and help. Sorry, but I can't get KDE
upgraded.

I have tried many times to add an installation source to YAST, as
given in the URL you gave me. I have followed the instructions very
carefully. I have also Googled to try to find the problem and to try
alternatives. But each time I get the error message:

ERROR (InstSrc:E_no_instrc_on_media)

I have tried various ways of splitting up the URL between the Server
and Directory boxes. Nothing works, and I have come to a standstill,
not knowing what to do next.

I can't get Smart to work either!

This is the first time I have tried to add an installation source to
YAST (or use Smart). The 10.0 manual is of no help whatever to me in
explaining exactly how an HTTP source should be split up between
Server and Directory.

I could download and install each of the KDE packages individually
from "software.opensuse.org", but that would take a long time.

I'm sorry to trouble you, but please could you tell me *exactly* what
to put in the two Add installation Sources boxes?

Many thanks

Keith
