Thanks for the missing link about why I couldn't do the KDE upgrade from
within YAST. However this misses the whole point of wanting to learn
about downloading the relevant files from the KDE site and doing it that
way.

SUSE 9.1? ( if not then please excuse my erratic memory ) 3.4.2 is
available from
ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source
There's probably a much better way of doing this but I added it as a
source via YAST -> Change Source of Installation -> Add
Next: YAST -> Install and Remove software, chang the drop down to
"Package Groups", scroll to the bottom of the left hand list, select
"zzz All" or go into GUI -> KDE depending on how brave you feel* ;o)
Right click on the right hand window and select All in this list ->
Update if newer version available. check for dependencies, accept and
off it goes - definitely an overnighter on a modem. It complains about
Comix every time I run it so I've left that out of date, not a problem
for me.
3.4.2 is working very well here, I remember being impressed when I
upgraded from what ever I used to have so it must be better :) I had a
few minor issues with the previous incarnation but this is working
flawlessly and is entirely crash free so far, ymmv ;)
cheers

*It may not make much difference for you, but I also have
ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/9.1/ in the sources list,
which may be where the Comix clash is coming from...
