[opensuse-autoinstall] oS 11.1 autoyast installation with only KDE 3.5 or with KDE 4.2 (and 3.5)
Hi all!
I have the following questions concerning openSUSE 11.1 autoinstall and KDE. Maybe they are trivial. For me they are not. So perhaps someone could help me with that:
Which patterns do I (not) have to choose for an autoyast installation completely WITHOUT KDE 4.1? In the manual installation process one has to choose at the very beginning if it should be an KDE 3 or 4 installation. Is this possible with autoyast as well? Trying that I always got both KDE versions in the end.
The following could be an interesting alternative: (How) Is it possible to have the KDE 4.2 repository integrated into the autoyast installation, so that 4.1 is replaced by 4.2. I tried to integrate the repository, but anyway, 4.1 rpms have been installed and not the rpms of 4.2. Although the 4.2 packets are available in the (auto)Yast software section, so the repository has been included.
Thanks in advance,

cloning a kde3 system does not work? I did not check for the pattern names now but if it's working in a non- autoyast installation, it should work in an autoyast installation too

that's working fine here:

I did not check that because that's not what I want to do.

That was exactly my idea. Without cloning anything if possible. ;-)
Installing pattern kde3 does the job quite good. Having lots of kde4 rpms was a problem of dependencies, I wasn't aware of. Anyway. Installing only base and kde3, there are still some kde4 packages left, that are installed and I don't understand why that's necessary.

Thanks. That works fine for me as well. But only as long as I don't additionally install
<pattern>kde4_internet</pattern>
as in my original configuratiion. But as it's not absolutely necessary, I can skip that.

why not? Then you can see the <software> section that is created

what's wrong with cloning? :)

maybe that pattern contains knewsticker which is not covered by the kde4.2 packets so the resolver has a problem with installing 4.2 then
