Hi Sam
Following is a list of my 10.0 installation sources as they're defined in YaST's 'Installation Source' module. I think 9.3 is the same for most excepting you'd substitute '9.3' for '10.0'. In any case, it's easy enough to browse there in Konqueror and verify the paths.
Notes: a) KDE 'Supplementary' may have been relocated. I set it up quite some time ago and can't remember now if/where it's been moved to :-)
b) the base apt repositories directory I 'hunt and peck' through for individual packages is here: ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE
c) for reference, below my list of 10.0 installation sources is a copy of my 9.3 apt sources.list, but you should also check <http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/> for the apt client installation script.
hth & regards,

Hi Carl, Thanks so much for you help. Unfortunately, the kde apt repository you are referencing to has been decommissioned and no longer exists at all. It's been replaced by an empty directory called "kde-unstable". Apt no longer gets new versions of kde, that directory on the server is empty It has been replaced by a yum/smart/yast repository. Please see: <ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/R EADME> ^^^ NB: this file has a bad link in it. See the link below for the kde repository location Given that apt no longer provides updated (or any) kde files, I'm trying to see if I can replace apt with yum. Yast on 9.3 does not work like yast does on 10.x and cannot use http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/ as an installation source. The existence of the new repositories is somewhat explained in previous threads regarding this matter and at: <http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_Team> Thanks anyhow ;< Sam S.
