A question to SuSE employees
While I was downloading 3.2, I looked at the README and we are given to understand that installing 3.2 will cause us problems when SuSE 9.1 comes out. When is this likely to be? Just a rough guess - nothing 'verbindlich' - would do. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

Find a mirror via http://download.kde.org/download.php and then carry on down the tree, looking for stable/3.2/SuSE/ Once I have found a responsive mirror via my browser, I tend to open a terminal window and then enter: ftp -ai ftp://whatever-the-url-is/stable/3.2/SuSE/ix86/9.0/ (that closing '/' is also important) and then just do a get *.rpm maybe that is obvious, or maybe you have a better way but it works for me :-) btw. There are a couple of things you might need under 'noarch' instead of 'ix86'. I picked those up via the browser - there was no sense in automating it.

Use netselect to automate the search for the most responsive mirror near you: http://sourceforge.net/projects/apt4rpm -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
Well they will just have to fix 9.1 to use KDE 3.2... but then again now that Novell owns SuSE and Ximian wont SuSE use Ximian? Dave On Wed, 2004-02-04 at 17:23, Andrew Williams wrote:

I doubt that. Markus Rex is in charge of the software dev from desktop to server and he's a BIG fan of KDE. The Ximian folks are under him now. So I would expect that they won't be getting rid of KDE. SUSE is even sponsoring the KDE UI port of OpenOffice. I'd wait and see. -- Linux User #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
And above that, SuSE always had let the user decide. They were preferring this
or that when the user chooses default installation, but switching from one to
another desktop manager never was a problem and never will be a problem. Even
if they would prefer Gnome in the future (which I doubt).
