upgrading KDE with YAST on Suse 8.0
Hi all In previous Suse versions there was a text based Yast, which has been just handy to upgrade KDE from supplementary section of ftp.suse.com. But on 8.0 Yast is just a replica of Yast2 and I can't find anymore a handy way to upgrade KDE. Did I miss something? Thanks Janko
Yast is gone in 8.0. You can upgrade to KDE 3.0.1 with Yast2's online update. Janko Mivsek wrote:

I think its a shame that YaST1 has gone - it was easy to update via ftp from a variety of sites, eg SuSE supplementary or people. As far as I can see there's no way to do that with YaST2. Its a bit of a pain having to down load individual files and install them manually. David
I was under the impression that the YaST2 ftp module was out or damn close to being released. I could have sworn that it was released at the same time that 8.0 was put on the ftp site. I would check to see if there isn't some YaST2 updates your missing to provide this functionality. Also, 3.0.1 is part of the YOU updates or so everyone has been saying. You could also use Apt. I started with a fresh install of 8.0 and directly afterwards install the apt rpm's and ran apt-get upgrade and it rocked...updated everything with little or no interaction from me after I told it what I would accept. Pretty slick...SuSE would do good to adopt this and even write a YaST2 frontend for it. It's pretty slick. :) * David Robertson (der@dsl.pipex.com) [020624 00:50]: :: ::I think its a shame that YaST1 has gone - it was easy to update via ftp ::from a variety of sites, eg SuSE supplementary or people.

What am I missing. Perhaps I am no expert but from what I have learned so far, Yast2 will do everything I can think of.

What about online update? What I would like to see is some improvement to online update. SuSE needs to add options such as you mention where the user could chose the location. Even more important, online update needs an option for working through a proxy server. I can't use online update at work because we have to use a proxy server.
to down load individual files and install them manually.
I guess I will have to do that because of the proxy problem. I also noticed at home when I did the online update, KDE was not one of the packages selected for update. When I double clicked on it to select, it selected with the G code which says something about it not being relevant for my system. After the online update procedure I checked the KDE version and it still says 3.0.0. at least the funny screen stripe problem went away so I am happy about that. Damon Register
