In YaST, go into "Change Source of Installation" and add:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-s ource/
(or a local mirror)
Then, go into "System Update" the 3.4.2 packages should be detected. You may need to manually resolve a couple of dependency conflicts.
I got a somewhat more general response, that I'm not sure how to interpret: "The installed product is not compatible with the product on the installation media. If you try to update using the current installation media, the system may not start or some applications may not run properly." This appeared during the "Analyzing your system" stage of "System Update" with the source being what you suggested above (ok, I broke it into two pieces, a server name and a directory on server, in the dialog box for "Change source..."). So, I have not yet gotten to the package listing and any dependency notices. Does the above message mean that something actually bad has been detected, and I should hit "Cancel", or is it just a generic warning that is "to be expected in this circumstance", and I should hit "Continue" and see what happens next??? Also, is it a problem to be running this YaST update/upgrade of KDE from KDE? Or would it make more sense to close KDE and run it from GNOME or from the text-based YaST? Kevin
