KDE 3.3 (presumably beta) on supplementary site
I may have gotten bit by this accidentally -- I was going through the process of reinstalling 9.1 on my laptop to clear out a bunch of my "learning" material. After getting 9.1 all up to date, I added the supplementary site to install sources and let a system update rip. I assumed they only put "official" releases there. Expecting to see KDE 3.2.3 boot up, I got a new KDE logon screen - Guess what, 3.3 (beta). Is 3.2.3 still out there? Is it possible to downgrade? Is it standard procedure for them (SuSE) to slip beta stuff onto the update sites like that, especially when the previous couple package releases from supplementary was "official" release packages.

I actually thought about that just before your email came in ;) Too easy. Run it through the old fashioned way - rpm -Uvh ;)
