I don't actually think you can. YOU is there to maintain the versions of the software you have installed, it will only apply patches, it won't upgrade. This is great for administrators, but a bit crap for us home users! I'm afraid the best I can recommend is to go to the KDE part of the SuSE download site and download all the RPMs with some sort of a download manager and then try to install them manually. I'd download them all into one directory, enter it, and type rpm -Uvh *.rpm Sorry :( -- Bryan

Well, I'd recommend using rpm -Fvh. -F freshens the installed packages, -U installs all the rpms you run it over, irrespective of whether they're present in an earlier version. This means you may bloat the system and run into more dependency flak than necessary. To get the files, cd to where you want to store them, ftp to your local SuSE mirror, cd to the relevant directory: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/ cd to base. Do bin hash prom Which will ftp the files as binary, print hashes to the screen so you get an idea of life/death, and turn off interactive prompting for each file so you don't have to keep intervening. Then do mget *.rpm When done in base, cd to applications and get that, and if you are maintaining a development system do the same for the development directory. Having assembled these have a go with rpm -Fvh *.rpm. On a machine with no development rpms installed it went completely smoothly, but on a machine with the dev rpms installed there were two library dependency conflicts. HTH Fergus

There's a good howto on this at: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/kde31to32.html I followed those instructions on my 8.2 system and the installation to kde 3.2.2 worked fine. You lose some of the SuSE-specific KDE functionality, but I didn't need those features, so I don't miss them. Hope this helps, Mark -- _____________________________________________ A Message From...

1) Yast --> Software --> Change Source of Installation 2) Select FTP 3) Enter the following exactly as shown below. Server :- mirror.mcs.anl.gov Path :- pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/yast-source/ Select Anom 4) Press OK - Will take quite a while. 5) Move this entry up so as it is the first entry in list. The above will make the newer kde rpms to appear in the "Install & Remove Software" section of Yast. Now goto "Install & Remove Software" Section 1) Goto the Selection Section and at the bottom you will find ZZ-all section. 2) In this go thru all the entries and anything highlighted in BLUE mark the entry to be reloaded. Also make sure other entries like kde-contact are selected as these are new rpm packages. (check the version on the far right hand columns) -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
