SuSE Install KDE 3.2

globex · 03-10-2004, 07:49 PM

Hello,

Im trying to install 3.2 on SuSE 9. I found this page:
h t t p : / / w w w . s u s e . c o m / u s/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_9_0/base.html

So what... do I have to download all those packages one at a time, and then install them manually 1 at a time?!?!?

put them all in one directory and type rpm -Uvh *.rpm

So I still have to download them all one at a time? Are you joking me?

yes, you have to download all of them, (approx 90mB). And those are only the base packeges. For full KDE3.2 you have to get some rpm form the applications directory too.
(Especialle the multimedia things, but i had troubles with them (no sound after installing KDE3.2, so i switched back to KDE3.1)

When I try to install them, I get a bunch of dependecy errors, even if I quit KDE and install from the konsole.

If you want you can try rpm -Uvh *.rpm --nodeps --force
At least i do it so in Fedora and everything was fine

as far as downloading the rpms, you can grab them all at once. Make seperate dir for your kde rpm downloads then:

in a terminal
cd /path/to/kde
wget -r --level=1 <url>

url = url of the ftp mirror
