KDE 3.1.2 is just an "Update" not really an upgrade. By that I mean it's (perhaps) less 'glitchy' than the shipped KDE and slightly cleaner in function. For my machine anyway. Then again I have an odd mix of cooker/release/third party installs. Texstar's seems to work better than the "official" KDE package, and infinitely better than trying to run the cooker version. YMMV Instructions follow. To avoid "bad signature messages;" GPG Key Instructions Rpmdrake requires the maker of the rpm to sign their rpms. Here is how to download and install my gpg key. Download http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/gpgkey/pubring.gpg Tex's pubring.gpg key for Linux Mandrake 9.1 Drop to the console or open an xterm and su to root. Type: gpg --import pubring.gpg To update to 3.1.2 since you're already in "terminal mode" and if you don't already have it as a software source repository: urpmi.addmedia texstar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms with hdlist.cz all on one line. You can install any of Texstar's RPMs from command line or from rpmdrake or from the embedded rpmdrake in the Mandrake Control Centre after that. For a newbie it's probably best to use the Mandrake Control Centre, Software Manager. On a side note; you can configure source repositories in a number of ways, but the easiest is the easy urpmi page at PLF. You can also install a 'version' of the same function from the install disks; urpmi urpmi.setup then run it with urpmi.setup The phrasing used on buttons is a bit whack though, you'll probably click a button expecting it to do one thing but it'll do something else. Better just to go to the page and use that. http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ Hope this helps.
