If I have an old edition of KDE (from SuSE 9.3) will it run, and how do I go about keeping it when installing 11.0, which should be here in a day or two? I am perfectly happy wioth the old KDE, and the only reason I am going to 11.0 is (hopefully) better printer and sound support.
Doug, I've done a number of systems since Thurs., most have been upgrades. MOST go fine.....KDE 3.5* goes on like a glove. Now, there have been a few glitches, most with laptops and Intel wireless, IF upgrading. If updating from 11.0 RC1, then all goes well, no matter what system. I had to do a fresh install tonight on a Toshiba laptop with the Intel 3945 wifi chipset because an upgrade just wouldn't allow it to connect - period. What I found, as it true for most of us for years, is that if you want to make certain that an "upgrade" goes perfectly well, do a fresh install with "custom" partitianing so you keep your /home dirs. Choose KDE 3.5 during the install and I think you'll be fine.
