I haven't got them all yet, but the way to do it - assuming you aren't doing this already - is to put them all in a directory then (as root) try urpmi * By some alchemy this sorts out the dependencies, which often don't work out if you try to install bit by bit.

[newbie] kde3.2 reprise
A note on pclinuxonline yesterday that there are kde3.2 rpms rebuilt from cooker for 9.2. (There's a note buried in the thread giving an alternative download ftp and a bittorrent file). I've tested the install so I have the dependencies under control, but I'm a little gun shy to install as I'm on a critical machine. What are people's experiences with the resulting installation? Does everything work? Does anything get hosed? (I know you need to use a clean .kde directory) Do the benefits of 3.2 outweight the hassles of upgrading/reconfiguring?

[newbie] kde3.2
Rather than wait for 3.2 rpms for M9.2, I thought I'd give konstruct a try. It worked well for me for koffice 1.3. However I want to be able to uninstall and return to my current config if I need/want to. According to the README after installation one has to issue: export QTDIR=~/kde3.2 export KDEDIRS=~/kde3.2 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/kde3.2/lib export PATH=~/kde3.2/bin:$PATH export KDEHOME=~/.kdetest to get 3.2 to start instead of 3.1. OK The output of env tells me only my current QTDIR. How do I findout what my current KDEDIRS and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are? TIA Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] kde3.2
OK, but how would I unset the changes I have to make to get kde3.2 to work (if I want to go back to 3.1 or change to any rpms that might get released).

I would create a shell script that started each environment that includes the export statements to load the correct environment variables. Call the first one kde32 #//bin/bash #Script to start KDE3.2 export KDEDIR=~/.kde32 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=blahblah startkde and one for 3.1.3 #//bin/bash #Script to start KDE3.1.3 export KDEDIR=~/.kde export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= startkde Obviously, expand and modify as appropriate to your circumstance. -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
