I upgraded to 3.0 final last night, but I already had 3.0 beta 2 installed, so maybe that's cheating :). The install went fairly straight forward, although there were a few gotchas. I use Mandrake 8.1, but the installation for that shouldn't vary much from doing it on 8.2. If you are upgrading from 2.2.x or installing kde 3.0 for the first time, that may be different. What I recommend doing after you've ftp'd down everything in the kde subdirectory off of ftp.kde.org - is to start upgrading the lower level components first before installing or upgrading the big major components such as kdebase. This helps dependency conflicts. That's the approach I took this time around and there were still some dependency issues - iirc I had to a --nodeps install on koffice, because it wanted a kdegraphics rpm and my rpms were kdegraphics3. Minor spelling diff, but it makes a difference to RPM. By lower level stuff I mean things like libxslt, libcups, etc. Similar titled libraries and their base packages (for example cups* and libcups*) depend on each other; you'll be better off if you install the library components first. Once those are installed, then install libqt*. The -devel packages depend on their base packages - for instance kdelibs, and kdelibs-devel. Install them in pairs on the RPM command line, like # rpm -Uvh kdelibs-3.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm kdelibs-devel-3.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm Next, if you get dependency errors from another package, suich as kdearts needing kdelibs, or what have you, hit your up arrow button which will give you the last command entered, then add the RPM its asking for. Keep adding RPMS on the command line (but just the ones it needs) until all dependencies are satisfied. If I remember from last nights install, I had to do this about 3-4 times just to make sure everything got upgraded correctly. In some cases you'll need to get rid of an older RPM before the new RPM can be installed. Mostly this is needed if you get file conflicts (like somesuch file in foo-1.rpm conflicts with the same file in foo-2.rpm). > Um abra�o, > L�cio Costa
