You may vote for an additional KDE3 repo available at install time for OpenSuSE 11.2 at https://features.opensuse.org/306733. Some reasoning about KDE3 and OpenSUSE 11.2 can be found at http://en.opensuse.org/Kde3 and at http://www.elstel.com.
Well, If this is actually something that will be considered, the a whole lot more people better go vote because, as of my vote just now, the total stands at 3. You know, the bottom line is that since kde3 is static, there is no reason not to provide a kde3 repo for 11.2. Not much effort required at all other than to simply build the packages and let them sit there. The biggest benefit will be for 11.2 users on older hardware that can't run kde4 due to its hardware demands. As I said in my comment at the features site, I still have several older boxes that are used for openoffice, etc. that are the PIII-866 1G class machines that handle kde3 just fine, but choke and die on kde4. Kde3 as an 11.2 options would beat the heck out of having to move to openbox on those machines... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
