Re: [newbie] KDE 3.4
Guys, you're beating yourselves up for nothing on this. After you add Thac's RPM's to urpmi, take a moment to install the ICE desktop or some other one. Chances are that you'll have at least 2 desktop environments installed anyway. Log out of KDE, and log back in as root or a normal user, but log into the alternate desktop, no matter what it is. Find Mandrake Control Center, open it and switch your package selection to the third button marked All Packages, By Group. Change that so it reads All Packages, By Medium Repository, and expand the one marked as thac's.rpms. Now have a look at the rpms which have version numbers of 3.4.0-1.mdk10.1.thac. Start with the basics like the i18n package for your preferred language and kdebase or kde-common. Mandrake will automatically select any dependancies. Make sure you install any new packages which may be in Thac's repository which refer to 'mdkkdm', 'mandrake_desk', 'mandrakegalaxy', 'mandrakelinux-create-kde-mdk-menu', 'mandrakelinux-kde-config-file', etc. You get the idea. Keep installing KDE 3.4 in small groups of packages - like all the kdepim packages, or whichever you need. In the process of doing this update, Mandrake will delete (uninstall) any unneeded KDE 3.2 or 3.3 packages. Once you have everything you want or need, you're done. If you've already downloaded the rpms from Thac's site, copy them into /var/cache/urpmi/rpms and MCC will use them instead of downloading fresh copies, saving you some time. Once you're all done, log out of this desktop environment and log back into KDE and enjoy. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
