Hi
Thanks for the reply, but KPackage does not appear to be used with SuSE (KPackage is not included in the SuSE distribution. A search for RPMs showed versions for Red Hat and Yellow Dog, but nothing for SuSE). Kpackage is a programme within the Kdeadmin3 rpm. You can point it to any download site, ie I use the UK mirrors. To my mind it's better than Yast because it will read any folder with rpm's in it. NB you must run SuSEconfig from a terminal after you install anything.
As to using RPM to install the files, yes, I used -U to get the remaining files installed.
I noted that the file kdebase3-SuSE is NOT updated with the 3.2.x RPMs that SuSE provides. Nor could I find a 3.2.x update for the file with rpmfind or other on the net. When I attempt to use YaST (without Konqueror) to install kdebase3-SuSE it returns a file conflict with the old kdebase3 ver 3.1.4 files. Yes base3-SuSE wasn't updated for 3.2.1 but is back again in 3.2.2. You lose some desktop icons and auto-update but I did it manually once a week so it wasn't much of a problem
After some thought it seems that there is a problem with X here and that the system is not allowing YaST as an XApp to come up with Konqueror.
If anyone has any other suggestions they would be appreciated.
Thanks
