Fw: [suse-kde] Upgrading kde2 to kde3 on 7.3
If you have enough space and a speedy connection or patience then I would suggest downloading all of 'development, base and applications' just so you don't run into any issues with deps.
You can make directories in /tmp called base, dev and apps. Download the rpm's to their respective directories and my best advice is to install base then dev then the apps. I ususally run SuSEconfig after install each set just so everything is updated. This has worked for me since I switched from Gnome w/ the release of KDE 2.0 :)
Sic! I tried what U suggested, but everything, really everything, went wrong. I have 7.3 prof, and logging in as root, I did the stuff above: At the last run, SuSEconfig returned me some errors, basically as it said that some thing couldn't be copied from /opt/kde2.... As soon as I finished, I tried to logout and... bang! out from X and to login prompt (text mode): no more dragon graphic login and the only way to start something was log in from cmd and then startx. Mmmmmh, so I tried to check out what was going wrong, and I found a lot of references everywhere to KDE2. So, as it was 2 o'clock in the morning and my wife was shouting, I tried to make SuSE install to fix up: well, it updated/reorganised things, and, as a root user I have KDE2 as default winmgr and as user I got KDE3. Uff! maybe I am to new to Linux and I did something wrong, but where can I get some info/man/whatever to understand what has to be done? Moreover, as user in KDE3 I don't have anymore menu accesses to Yast/Yast2 (ok I can start them by hand), but I'm not the only user of my LinuxBox (my wife is a Mac user, and I'm trying to convince her!!) Thx in advance Ciao, Luca

You must also apply some post-installation instructions: http://mail.bmtsolutions.com/suse_faq/desktops.html#KDE
