I wouldn't worry about it. I imagine life is much more pleasant that

I can't seem to find the 3.4 RPMs that y'all have been referring to.
In fact, I have a heck of a time finding anything on the SuSE FTP
site other than that which directly updates 9.2 (or whatever the
current distro version is). Is there something out there that might
help me slay the proverbial dragon that is the collection of folders
on the FTP site?
They're part of the "supplementary" updates provided by SuSE.
Here's where to find them:
ftp://<your-mirror-host>//i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source
Or, in terms of the dialog into which you enter this, it's:
Protocol: FTP
Server Name: <mirror-host>
Directory on Server:
<SuSE-directory>/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source
Substitute 9.0, 9.1 or 9.2 depending on which distribution you're
running.
Despite what you might hear, leading and trailing slashes on the
directory name are of no consequence.
I stick with YaST, so I just add a new Software Source Media (YaST
Control Center -> Change Source of Installation) and then run YaST
Install & Remove Software.
One thing to keep in mind is that to check for new updates in a Source
Media you've already configured and used for installation, you have to
go back to "Change Source ...", select that entry in the Software
Source Media window, click and hold the Edit pop-up menu and select
"Refresh...". Then you can run Install & Remove Software again and use
one of Update options.
Thanks.
De nada.
