I think I published here a technique for updating from KDE 2.1 Beta2
to KDE 2.1 final without using nodeps or force, which generated some
interest.
I have now used this technique to update a Mandrake 7.2 virgin
install KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.1.
The attachment is the console log of that operation to assist those
with doubts or hesitation.
Notes:
1. This was performed in a su terminal window opened on the
unsupported/kde-2.1 tree.
2. The addition of the apmd and ppp RPMs is not shown, since they
were performed from a second su terminal window opened on the 7.2
RPMs tree.
3. Otherwise every step of the process is shown, except the final
reboot.
4. After the reboot, the KDE panel came in one line high, quickly
fixed by logout of KDE and log back in again.
5. After reboot, some panel items were lost & replaced with a
useless KDE gear. This is easily set right by K - Configure Penel
- Add - Button, then moving them back into place.
