I have mdk 8.0 installed (1 week old) and have downloaded the kde 2.2 rpm's from sourceforge. I followed the directions in README: used urpmi.addmedia to add the kde 2.2 rpm source, then I called urpmi --auto-select. This was all done in console mode logged in as root. urpmi started up, churned a bit, then told me that 251 MB of files were required to complete the upgrade. When I told it to go ahead, it apparently tried to copy files from ftp2.sourceforge.net (which I had configured in Software Manager as a source for Security Updates). I cancelled. Then, I tried logging in as root (loading KDE 2.1), removing the ftp2.sourceforge.net source from Software Manager, and trying urpmi again. urpmi announced that it could not find various lib* files. I tried several other combinations, none with any luck. So I'm wondering what is the best way to upgrade to kde2.2? Can Software Manager perform the update while kde 2.1 is running? Must this be done in console mode or single-user mode? Thanks for any help. - david
