[LUG] KDE upgrade on SuSE

[Thorsten Ruffle-Brandt <TRB@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the question came up...

I've upgraded my KDE on SuSE 8.2 last week the following way - not exactly 
the easiest or quickest solution, but it worked fine:

I pointed KBear to the appropriate ftp site [1] with the official SuSE KDE 
3.2.1 rpm packages, selected the appropriate packages by hand (don't copy 
all, there is a lot of redundand stuff in there!) and copied them into a 
new directory.

Several hours later (well-spent in the pub), all I needed to do was 
rpm -Fvh * and restart KDE.

Yes, I wish I could've apt-got it, but hey, c'est la vie. My teutonic 
roots have me favour the SuSE flavour, I supose ;-)
