Hello all! I can't find KOrganizer in my SuSE 7.3, anyone who knows if it belongs to a package including other applications and in that case what package?

Install that. Thank's... :-) kdepim is a weird word for a package including a program called korganizer.

Lol .. not from an English speakers point of view. For the "pim" part is a contraction of Personal Information Manager, an umberalla term that covers anything to do with organising your personal data. Cheers, John

The term PIM or Personal Information Manager is never used in the application itself or in it's name, therefore IMO kdepim is simply an illogical package name for a program called KOrganizer.

Hello, After two years with 6.3 I need an upgrade. My problem is that I have never done such a thing before (a _former_ colleague installed it for me in the first place), and it is a machine I use at work, so I cannot afford to be without for more than two days. Of course my company has a solution for me, but that solution is called RedHat and I'd rather stay with SuSE. As SuSE 6.3 ran without problems (just the incidental failure to recognize the password when I screen-locked the machine), albeit without sound, can I expect to have a succesfull upgrade, with SuSE recognizing all my settings and keeping everything in tact (partitioning, the Windows NT on a separate harddisk that has remained unused over the last year, etc.) without me having to note down configuration settings etc.? This must be done a zillion times before, but I must have been looking in the wrong places for info on this. Sorry for that.

You can have it both ways, but first SAVE all your important config files, data, special apps, like MoneyDance & your bank data, etc., on a temporary partition or burn them on a CD. Then try the upgrade but do not touch the temporary partition, if you didn't use a CD. If the upgrade doesn't go well then do a clean install, reformating all the partitions except the temporary one, using ReiserSF if you wish. Then restore the configs that you saved, special apps, etc...... I tried the upgrade first, but it didn't go well at all. However, the clean install was the best I've ever had. That's the route I'd recommend. Save your self a lot of hassle, end up with a pristine installation of 7.3 Jerry

But kdepim doesn't just contain korganiser, it contains other apps as well. Have a look at the start of the README: /usr/share/doc/packages/kdepim/README .. it says .. The KDE-PIM project aims to bring together those who wish to help design, implement, test, etc. anything that's to do with personal information management. So the name of the package is intended to contain the creations of the project, which makes perfect sense. I think if you check you won't find any application names containing the word "toys" in kdetoys, or "util" in kdeutils, etc, either. Sorry, but your argument doesn't really stand up. Regards, John
