I recently tried to install KDE 201 on to my computer which has Suse 7. My lack of computer skills must be showing because I can not even get it to start to install.
I went to the Suse ftp site and downloaded all the kde20 files into /opt/kde201. The FAQ at the Suse site says to run the script update_kde2.sh if installing all of the packages. I have all the packages, but my computer does not have a file named update_kde2.sh and the Suse site search also does not have the update script. What did I miss?
Try method 2 to install. Since I have all the rpm packages on my computer I tried to use Yast1. Loaded Yast, went to change the installation media to a reachable directory. Yast asked from which directory, I typed in /opt/KDE201 and Yast responded with an error message "could not find source directory". ???? The directory is there and the files are there. I tried to get Yast to see other directories related to /opt and not related to /opt, always received the same error message. How do I get Yast1 to recognize a reachable directory on my computer?
Or, is there a less challenging way to install KDE201?
Suse 7.0 Yast1 1.07.1
