Kde 2.2

[danip]

Anyone know how to update to the newest kde on suse 9.0. Ive done it before cant seem to remember how though.

are you sure you have kde 2.2 on kde 9.0 and say not 3.1?
if you have 3.1 you can try upgrading to 3.2 using this http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/kde31to32.html
or upgrading to suse 9.1 via an ftp install
maybe you can use yast also, I only used suse for a short time maybe a current user has more info ;)
just my .02

You did... thanks.

I was reviewing the saved html I had (in Konqueror) and was just about to copy & paste when I thought 'wait a minute, better to double check the link you had already posted' and wouldn't you know it... the exact same. :eek:

Guess we're even now. :D

And you're doing a great job if I may add. I'm sure everyone here appreciates your effort. Wish we had more like you so I could take more time off from JL. I know, I know, I don't have to spend as much time here, but I hate to see so many threads with zero replies or others still waiting to get their problems resolved. Oh well. :(

me too, I also hate to see threads with no replies, and I enjoy being part of the JL & Linux community. there are those who say I am a JL/Linux addict ;) and thank you for your kind words. believe me I would not be using linux today without the help of JL, I just try to do what I can to repay the community while I have the time and resources.

[bosox79]

The 9.1 FTP mirrors will not be up untill june 4th according to this ftp://mirror.storagetek.com/pub/systems/suse/i386/9.1/README.txt
unless someone else knows of a mirror that has 9.1 take a look at MD's post in this thread for a general idea about how the install processes should work. this thread should also help http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126934&highlight=SUSE+ftp
