Hi everybody, I'm trying to upgrade to KDE 2.2 just to get some experience in installing new stuff on my box. I managed to find most of the dependencies I need, but the libSDL1.2 is giving me trouble. It needs XFree 4.1.0 and I have XFree 4.0.3 (from my distribution ISOs). How do I go about upgrading a package? If I do a "rpm -qa | grep XFree", I have several packages at version 4.0.3-7mdk. I don't understand how to use the -U option to "upgrade" a package. Do you give the command the name of the new package (let's say in this case XFree-4.1.0-10mdk.rpm) and it will find and replace the old one (XFree-4.0.3-7mdk.rpm)? I also have some questions about packages and their names. I am using rpmfind.net to get them. Am I right in saying that the packages labeled Mandrake Cooker are beta versions that might be buggy and those labeled Mandrake only are the current stable versions? And how does the versioning works in these filenames, is there a standard or each author uses any numbering scheme they want? Finally, any help with upgrading to KDE 2.2 will be appreciated. =) Eric, newbie in the installation realm.
