Hi everyone, I'm a new suse user and I try to upgrade my 8.2 dist to get the new KDE release but with YOU I find only some path to the installed packages and not new packages. How can I proceed to get new packages? The only way is using apt? Thank, Tommaso

You provides SuSE official updates only. If you want to upgrade packages via APT you do so with the knowledge that these packages may not work correctly and may break you system. If you are upgrading a production system I would recommend ONLY using the updates via YOU. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998

Open up YaST and go to Change Source of Installation. Add an ftp one, such as this: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-source Use the 'up' button to make sure this is at the top of the list. Then, back at the main window of YaST, choose system update, and and select "only update installed packages". There is a details button that shows what is going to be updated, so you can check it out yourself. Since I'm already running 8.2, this didn't update anything except all the kde and related rpms to 3.1.2. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
