So, why can't YaST see it? How do I make YaST see it?
Make sure that the dvd is set as an installation source in Yast.
Initially, YaST was not going to the KDE repository (I had cut and pasted the URL from posts in this list, and what I had seemed to match what two different people had suggested to others in the recent past). That URL and the DVD entry were the only two items in the Installation Source list. Not having any better ideas, I changed their order on the list. No joy. Then I removed the DVD installation source and tried again, and suddenly YaST was showing me all the new KDE packages (including just a couple of minor dependency issues which I resolved). So I told it to go ahead. It began churning, downloading and doing whatever it does, and then it decided that it needed a couple of things from the DVD. Well, this was as far as I'd ever gotten in the procedure, so I left that dialog open and tried to reinstall the DVD as a source, while the KDE update was waiting. Then I went back to the KDE update. No go it won't see the DVD. Since then, I aborted the update, and shut off the PC (thunderstorms were forecast) for a couple of days. Now when I look at what YaST has for Installation Source, it looks like (excuse the awkward line breaks): Status Name URL On supplementary KDE 3.4 update ftp://gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-source On dvd://// dvd:///;devices=/dev/hdc On dvd://// cd:/// On dvd://// dvd:/// On dvd://// dvd:/// On dvd://// dvd:/// On dvd://// dvd:/// On SUSE LINUX Version 9.3 dvd:/// I don't know where all those duplicates came from. I've only ever had just the one (DVD) entry until I recently added the "ftp://ftp.gwdg.de...." entry, then it was two, and then (as mentioned above) I deleted the dvd entry for a while, then tried to put it back... once.
