I've had some troubles attempting to upgrade kde 2.0 to 2.1 in Mandrake
7.2. I would like three things:
1. To suggest that a readme be developed and included in the upgrade
directory, on, for example, SourceForge.
I can perhaps help with such a readme if I am ever successful, and if I
get answers to various questions. See 2 and 3, below.
2. To describe the approach I took on the previous trial, and the
problems that occurred, and get your advice on the better way to do it
next time, or possibly on how to fix some of the problems that occurred,
but see 3, below.
3. I am now getting ready to attempt another upgrade. I have
reinstalled Mandrake 7.2 (with most packages installed, but not all
enabled at startup, just those that I need). I have downloaded the
(binary) rpms from sourceforge, except for the language related rpms. I
have moved the "devel" packages out of that directory. I plan to
install the packages using "rpm -U --force --nodeps *.rpm", from a
virtual terminal, as root, without x running. Before I do this, I will
delete the .kde directories from each user's home directory (and maybe
from root??).
Actually, if I know that one or all of you are the right people to talk
to, I can send you copies of the newsgroup messages describing what I
did last time and the problems I had. That would give you more
information to go on.
Thank you,
Randy Kramer
