Yes, But according to what I've read, once you install both, there is no going back because KDE3 and KDE4 will be forever inexplicably intertwined. Some have been able to completely remove one or the other, but the explanations have been painful. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Thanks. That is what I thought - based on all the recent discussions.

I installed them both, and uninstalled kde4 quite effortlessly and without residual effects I could notice. That was openSUSE 10.3, I think. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes, but. The 'but' is that they interfere somewhat. When you click on the menu entry "konqueror", you get the version 4 one, always. If you call "konqeror", the same. It happens for several apps. If you want the "old" one, you have to manually call "/opt/kde3/bin/konqueror". - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

That's because the PATH has /usr/bin before /opt/kde3/bin. You could change them around and let KDE3 have priority, or remove the latter and many of the things that only exist (or are installed for) KDE3 won't work; you're back to manual - CLI. -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself.

My System -> File Manager menu has entries for both Dolphin and Konqueror/KDE3 as part of the standard install, so I can call either.
