Red Hat 7.2 + KDE 3.0

dai · 08-02-2002, 07:19 AM

Hi Im thinking of setting up KDE 3.0 on my Rh7.2 box via rpm's

Im wondering how I would go about it. I.e. I want to know which rpm to install first, should I remove the old version of KDE, should I ignore dependencies etc.....

All help or Links to walkthru's would be appreciated!!!!

If you get RPMs for Red Hat you should be able to simply upgrade them all at once.

Code:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

and never ever ignore dependancies.

I have the Rpms but thre problem is im not sure which order to install them in (there are about 20 of them)

So can anybody tell me the correct order????

I also assume this should be done from the command line proper as root and not in a shell in X

Ever tried the kde.org site?

Regarding the orider, read what I typed above - do them all at the same time with the example command line I gave you.

tried thay and it just gives me a list of errors due to dependancies

So trace the dependancies and install the other required files.
