Yep, Leen is right, just toss all the apps-base-devel files into one directory and have at it. rpm -Uhv *.rpm
Any conflicts or dependencies that show up then should be minor to deal with.

Why the -U option?
rpm -F *.rpm is the initial way to go, it just upgrades the packages you have installed. If you get error-messages from that, you can look at their cause and take appropriate action. The -hv options look nice though, I had never noticed them before. ==========
Hi Andy, Use the -U to install all the packages, since many of the KDE packages have been split now into separate or stand alone rpms. You can, of course, check the packages you aren't sure of beforehand. The -F does in fact only update those installed, but then you start having trouble finding programs you have been using. Also, many new programs are added that may very well prove to be helpful or just fun. :o) The "hv" just gives you something to watch as they do their work. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.1 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
