KDE 3.2.3 upgrade question

[Howard Coles Jr.]

The Absolute best way to upgrade SuSE 9.1's KDE is to find a ftp mirror and 
add the yast_source directory as an install source.  Then in YaST 

For example I have a "Supplementary KDE 3.2 update" with a location of 
"ftp:/mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source

Then go to "System Update" and follow the prompts.  It only downloads and 
upgrades the KDE packages you already have and it doesn't mess with your SuSE 
specific configs.

Just got through doing this on my laptop, took a while, but I didn't have to 
fight dependencies.
