Hi Jerry

Nothing special really.  I added the 4.1 repo at

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0

using the Yast -> Software Repositories module, then did an update on all newer 
packages(yast -> software management -> KDE4 Base system (under Patterns), then 
'right click on the list in the right-hand pane, and choose 'all in this list' - > 
'update if newer version available'.  There were some issues with ktorrent requiring 
libraries, such if ignored that for now.  I'll come back to things like that as the beta 
software gets updated.

Not too troubling really.  For me, KDE4 gives me a _massive_ return on my 
investment :)

Cheers

Pete
