NO, you can not install 11.2 whitout any KDE4 Packages.
11.2 is the first Distribution from openSUSE which comes whitout KDE3, and KDE3 is also not supportet any longer by openSUSE.
This means, that you can use the 11.1, where both Desktop's where supportet, but even then you will have some kde4 packages on your system, or you can install openSUSE 11.2 with KDE4 and install KDE3 as optional Desktop but whitout any support.
If you want openSUSE 11.2 whit KDE4 and (!!) KDE3, you will find KDE3 at...
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.2/

Thank you for your answer. Then my question if it is possible to install without KDE4 like this: 1. Install the system without any graphical environment. 2. Start yast in cli mode then add the non-official KDE3 repo and install KDE3 from there.
In this case are still required KDE4 packages for correct operation?
My understanding is that when you install 11.2 as a fresh installation you only get KDE4(31). BUT you can also install KDE3 if you select afterwards the right repositories. I may be wrong in my understanding so don't take it for granted. However, the bottom line is that KDE4(31) is installed when you do a clean install of 11.2. Having stated this, as *I* don't have any special overwhelming needs to have KDE3, I find KDE4 (and I am now running 4.3.3) is more than satisfactory - in fact I find that there is nothing in KDE3 which I miss.
