Anyone did it ? Do you know if there is any trouble for installing the rpms at ftp.kde.org ? Are SuSE packets 'tuned' in some way ? I wouldn't want to lose any features, but I find SuSE's ftp a litte 'messy' with ALL those directories and more directories. kde's ftp is much more comfortable. -- From the forgotten corner in Europe, Land of Breogan Powered by GNU/Linux SuSE 7.0 - Linux user #97.266 ...may the force be with you
I found KDE's rpms a snap. Just download with ncftp into a temp directory, rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *.rpm and away you go. It might take you two or three times through the set to get them all installed, as rpm has a habit of dying with a 'use rpm --rebuilddb' type error, but the second or third time you do this and then run the rpm command as above, you'll get through the set. Works fine, total install time about 15-20 minutes. --Kevin On Mon, 5 Feb 2001, O'Bieito wrote:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The rpms from ftp.kde.org work fine. Don't go with the 2.1beta2 rpms tho, as they have missing programs. The beta 1 packages as well as the 2.0.1 packages are good. - -tosi Þann mánudagur 05 febrúar 2001 18:08 skrifaðir þú:

Ya, I did it. I used Konqueror to drag the update_for_7.0 directory to my /opt3 directory and then watched TV for about three hours as 450MB came down the wire. Then I ran YaST1 and selected my download dir as the source. Started at ../D2 and worked my way down the dir tree. SuSEConfig ran automatically at the end and set everthing up. It was painless. JLK
