[opensuse] how to replace kd4 with kde3.5 in suse 11.0
I installed suse 11.0 on my ThinkPad T60 and kde4 is a mess. When on desktop right click doesn't allow you to add an application. So many other problems. How can I replace kd4 with kde3.5 in suse 11.0? jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Using YaST software management. Look for Patterns (in Filters) and add KDE3 pattern. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

for best results, first do this: $ su password # init 3 # yast [that is, run the character console version, not the GUI] and then use the filters to find software to remove, and software to add. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

"The 'cc' command is the C compiler. You need to install the development environment. Easiest way is to go to YaST -> Software Management and when it finally comes up, select 'Patterns' in the drop down 'Filter' list. Scroll down to the 'Development' category and check the 'Base Development' check box. This should get you all the tools the compilation process will need. " I followed the instructions as above and got on the internet using wireless. Thanks to all who helped. jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The above answer applied to compiling? this is the correct answer" I downloaded the dvd version of 11.0 and you have a choice of installing kde 4.0 or 3.5 and I chose 3.5 and it is working fine. jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
