You've got everything right, but you need the 'yast-source/' bit at the end as follows: directory on server: pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source/ If you do the above, and click Next it should succeed. The line 'supplementary KDE 3.3 update' will be moved to the bottom in the pecking order. Select it and click 'Up' to move it back to the top. I don't know whether this is significant, but I have had no problems doing this. Steve Black On Friday 24 September 2004 12:05, Robert Paulsen wrote:

A while back, I used YOU to upgrade my KDE to 3.3 (I am on SuSE 9.1).

I want to check for recent updates and now can't remember how I did this before. What I am doing now is...

1. Start YOU

2. Add a "User defined location" as an installation source. This I define as

protocol: ftp server name: ftp.suse.com directory on server: pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/

3. click on Next

This shows "retrieving ionformation about new updates" for a few moments then an error message: "Patch information retrieval failed". I click on "Details" and see:

error Couldn't cd to i386

But, I can use ftp or the browser to go to the directory manually.

Hi Robert, To not get into confusion from the beginning: You cannot update supplementary KDE with 'YOU', but only with 'System Update'. In YaST Control Center: Step 1 -> Change Source of Installation: - (If you there is only you basic installation SuSE 9.1, otherwise go to 'supplementary KDE 3.3.0 update' and choose (replace seems to be important to refresh some information instead of ) - FTP - Server Name: ftp.suse.com (or a mirror) - Directory on Server: /pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source - Authentication: Anonymous - Put 'supplementary KDE 3.3.0 update' to the first position (Move Up) - <Finish> Step 2 -> System Update - Run through the wizard Recommendation: Update Options -> Update with Installation of New Software and Features Based on the Selection René
