Hello All,
I tryed to install Leap 15.1 from scrach, then KDE3 and all the
packages that interest me, as I did before. And then, when KMail3
losted the mails I wanted to move into one of its folders, I gave up
with KDE3, and OpenSuse. KMail3 was a big reason why I did not want to
leave. Yast too. It is terrible to change all, and I understand why
Linux is not more present.
This post is probably the last I will ever post here !
Tanks to all and for all.

Up to now, I've installed all the KDE4 software (up to Opensuse 42.3), then deleted all the KDE4 versions of Kontact, added KDE3, and used KDEPIM from the KDE3 version for email and so on.
Now I find that Amarok has the Wikipedia function broken in15.1 and I wonder howmuch effort it would take to install a minimal version of Opensuse 15.1 and then install KDE3.
Any comments on the wisdom of doing this? Would I be better off using Trinity?
Thanks, Bob
It's not hard at all. I generally do a minimal X install with icewm and then add the KDE3 repo and then use yast to add the desktop. There are a few dependencies missed like pinentry-gtk2 and a few others. I generally just install them as I find them. KDE3 is an absolute pleasure on 15.1. There are a few know issues -- but they never surprise you because they have been there for 10 years :) The only new issue in 15.1 is openSUSE changed to using .svg icons, so if you installed the yast2-qt3 package the icons are missing (everything still works, just no icons - I opened a bug on it, don't know if it will be fixed) After you install kdm3 and KDE3, just run as root: update-alternatives --set default-displaymanager /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/kdm3 To change the display manager to kdm3 and you are good to go.
