strange for you to recommend this site you have always told me stick to suse rpms from their own site :-)
SuSE DOES have KDE posted at their site:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/KDE2/update_for_7.0/
Have they switched to a different package naming for kde2. If I recall the kde-2.0 packages were all kbase2, klibs2, etc. whereas the new kde-2.01 are kdebase, kdelibs, etc. What gives? This means we will have to uninstall the old kde-2.0 before upgrading/installing to kde-2.01, correct.

Nope, because it all goes in /opt/kde2/bin so you can just update. It works fine. I did it on 3 different boxes yesterday.

But won't the kbase2, klibs2, etc rpm keys be left on the system.

Nope. If you use rpm -Uhv xxx.rpm then the old xxx.rpm is erased. rpm -ihv would on the other hand install it onto the old install, and thus leaving the entries in the rpm database. That's why it's called U(pgrade) ;-) -tosi -- ______ /---------------------------------------\ \ | Þór Sigurðsson | Tor Sigurdsson | t | | Netmaður | Network Specialist | o | |-----------------------------------------| s | | tosi@rhi.hi.is | i | \---------------------------------------/_____/

If the keys are different how does it know which packages to remove. By different I mean kbase2 -> kdebase.

No, because RPM has a feature that new packages can "Obsolete" old packages with a different name :) LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany Please, forget that, I was just going to start eating.
