I had absolutely no trouble installing it on my 9.0 workstation in the office or on my 8.2 box at home. For some reason 3.2 makes the bass really sensitive..this may be an arts issue. I just turned down the bass a bit and I have normal sound. There are deps that 3.2 has that 3.1.5 didn't have but those are all on the ftp sites. I used apt in both cases to upgrade and it was pretty painless.
I tried to do it with apt, using the instructions on the apt4suse site particular to KDE 3.1 -> KDE 3.2, and I encountered dependency failures that killed the installation. I wonder what you did that I didn't do. The other methods that have been suggested are: 1. red-carpet (which I ultimately succeeded with) 2. rpm -Fvh ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2/ix86/9.0/*.rpm 3. Pointing Yast at the ftp location cited above. [2] failed consistently on a variety of errors, most often some globbing problem. [3] probably doesn't work at all because Yast2 expects some additional directory structure between 9.0 and the packages, namely, /suse/i586. It would be interesting to hear if anyone has actually succeeded with either [2] or [3]. Paul Abrahams
