and, with the exception of Amarok & K3B, still using KDE3. So far, 11.2 is doing no worse than 11.0 did. One preliminary indication is that apps using Flash seem to be consuming less RAM in 11.2 than in 11.0.
Felix, Did you install both KDE3 & KDE4 in your 11.2 ??
As indicated, Amarok & K3B are the KDE4 versions. Other than those and whatever KDE4 stuff was pulled as deps of other stuff (e.g. kde4-filesystem, libkde4, kdebase4-runtime) it's only KDE3. I installed only base text to start with. On first boot I used zypper via script to install enough of X and KDE3 to run KDE3 and get into YaST2 to get the rest of what choosing KDE3 during install should have gotten. It would have been easier if I could have found a KDE3 pattern to install with zypper. I don't usually install "by the book", and didn't this either. In the week prior I did 11.2/KDE3 installs on 2 other boxes, partially as practice to ensure minimal downtime for Apache and local file sharing. I partition and format in advance. Then I copy backups into place to facilitate my typical customizations. I also copy some originals, in this case: /etc/zypp/zypp.conf (to have multiversion set on several packages), /etc/zypp/locks (avoids installing a bunch of KDE4 apps that would otherwise be added via bogus dep), /etc/zypp/repos.d/ (including KDE3.repo, Mozilla.repo, Packman.repo, VideoLan.repo, GoogleChrome.repo), /root/.bash_history, /root/.bashrc, /root/.mozilla & several others. /home is separate, and caused one very difficult problem to isolate (in .bashrc 'export LC_PAPER=letter' cause MC run in Konsole in 11.2 to be visually corrupted as if it had no idea how many columns of width to display, not a problem in 11.0). http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/112/kde3in.sh.txt contains the script http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/112/ contains locks and .repo files -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
