I was wondering if there is a fairly painless way to update Gnome to version 2.4 for SuSE 9.0?
When I updated from 2.2 all I did was remove all of the 2.2 packages, download 2.4 and then do a rpm -Uvh *.rpm in the download directory. IIRC there were one or two failed dependencies which I solved by grabbing the relevant rpms from usr-local-bin. Regards, Ben

Thanks, I will try that and see how that works. Did you get the packages from SuSE's site or from the apt directory?

The packages are the same. The packages in the apt repository are just linked from ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME2/update_for_9.0/applications -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
