What is "OBS"?
openSUSE build service - its a major feature of openSUSE and has tons of add-in packages. KDE 3.5 for openSUSE is maintained in OBS repos only, so you have to look there for them.
You should read: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3
As to KDE 3.5 for 11.1, its in:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.1/
Notice there is a *.repo file in that dir. You need to use yast to add that repo and then you have access to files in the full repo.
11.2 and 11.3 repos also exist. KDE 3.5 for 11.4 is not yet tested and ready from my understanding. Note the KDE 3.5 has its own mailing list. I'm not subscribed, so I have no idea how active it is.

i still run 11.1 -x64 with kde3.5. A long time ago tried kde4 in another partition with kde, that lasted 15 minutes, 11.2 was the same deal, tried 11.3 four-five times, same results, have not even looked at 11.4 yet. I believe some have tried to install 11.3 and 11.4 first without an x server and then added x and kde3, but both have too many other things tied to kde4 and i wouldn't expect a smooth system. imho 11.1 is the last suse that can run plasmoid-free:) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ban kdelibs4 in Yast and you'll get system without plasmoids. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did that with my firewall and 11.3, where I don't need a desktop. It works fine for that. I imagine 11.4 would be OK there too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
