open Konsole , su into root
copy and paste whats at the bottom of the webpage into konsole.



The easiest way to get KDE3.5 is also at that weblink
at the top choose Cooker instead of 2006.
follow the steps


you can then use Configure your Computer > Packages Install Software

I wouldn't use the cooker repos for KDE 3.5 because your system can break if packages that are not well tested are installed. Use the MDE repo. I have tried their rpms and they work fine on Mandriva 2006. Make sure you follow the instructions on their website.

and thacs rpms are tested?
Thacs RPMS always break my systems

but i have always used cooker packages without anytroubles.
I have tried their rpms and they work fine on Mandriva 2006.



P.S parent best wait til 2006.1 which comes with KDE 3.5

The KDE 2006 MDE rpms work quite well and many people on on tis site and Mandriva Club forums have had positive experiences. The KDE 3.4 rpms were the ones that broke many systems, so this time round Thac and Ze have been doing more testing before releasing them to the public.

Cooker is okay if you know how to fix things when they go wrong. I use cooker on my testing machine and when there is heavy development, KDE breaks a lot, which can leave the system unuseable unless you have multiple DEs and wait for a fix for the problem. Soon 2006.1 and another club version are going to be released so there will be a lot of activity in cooker, so its not going to be very stable.
