I'm new to Linux and am trying to update my KDE3.2.1 to 3.3.1. When I do the update from supplemental and then check dependences I get a list of over 40 programs it wants to remove and several it says it needs. Is there a document somewhere that explains the steps to use when dependences are found.
Easiest (for me) is to do the following with YaST:
Add the ftp.gwdg.de ftp site as an http installation source. You'll need to specify the exact directory for the KDE supplemental "yast source" folder.
Move this installation source above your original DVD (or however you installed SuSE) source, make sure that both sources are "On" and that your original installation source is available.
Finish with this YaST module and then launch the System Update module. On the first screen, allow YaST to create a backup if you like. Then on the next screen, choose "Update installed packages only" and uncheck "delete unmaintained packages". Resolve any conflicts and after YaST finishes, log off and log back in to get your new KDE.
Have fun, Mark
Mark your method worked great. I used FTP instead of http but all is updated and working. I lost my email distribution list but all my contacts are still present so I can recreate them.
Thanks again for your help!!!
