How to update kde for mandrake

meteoric · 08-25-2005, 10:16 PM

I know many users have asked the same question, but I still can't get it to work. Well, it's more like I don't what to do next.

I visited kde.org, and saw a list of kde packages for mandrake. The install guide in that site basically wants me to do the installation for each package.

Is there a simple way to update all packages instead of installing a package one at a time?

Thanks.

well your command would be different...........

In slackware to upgrade all packages in the same directory would be this..........

Code:

upgradepkg *.tgz

the "*" is just a wildcard meaning all packages ending in "tgz".........

but I still have to download all packages from kde.org manually, is that correct?

hi there,
and to upgrade only those packages which were not installed previously......
upgradepkg --install-new *.tgz

The commands you guys are posting are for Slackware and they are no good on Mandriva. You need to download the KDE packages and then create a local urpmi repository and then upgrade using rpmdrake or in a terminal emulator using the "urpmi --auto-select" command".
