KDE 3.2.6 ??? What about Kmail? Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10 RC1 !

I just had a look at http://www.kde.org/download/ and they only offer 3.2 to download with a kmail patch. Maybe KDE 3.2.6 is a mandrake specific, not KDE official release of KDE.? Does Mdk 10.0 include the Kmail patch: kmail has a couple of critical bugs and I want my emails to be safe.

Theoretically possible. I've gone from release to release once or twice in the past by just using urpmi --auto-select. You could establish a cooker mirror source, and then get the hdlists (urpmi.update -a) and autoselect upgrades to all the packages you already have installed, and apart from the kernel, you'd have most of what 10.0 rc1 is. Of course, you can urpmi the kernel too, you just have to do that part separately. -- David E.

What did I do wrong? I tried installing the Nvidia drives last night (using sh --update and it died. First it complained about kernel sources, which I urpmi'd after, then it refused at a later point. I wish I had the error, but I dont' have that box in front of me right now... I gave up since RC1 still lacks "3d accelleration". So are you saying you could play other games like Enemy Territory, etc, stuff that requires 3d? Any ideas what I may have been doing wrong? Techo __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
