Hi guys,

Here is the easiest way to do it in the link below if you have Suse 
linux   I have upgraded to KDE 3.3.0 and 3.3.2 and it worked fine apart 
from one or two dependencies I had to sort out - issues with libjasper 
and jack audio kit come to mind.  I couldn't do the upgrade online at 
home as the modem was too slow so I downloaded the directory hierarchy 
with wget (following symlinks) at work and burnt it to CD then pointed 
Yast's installation source to the CD.

Regards

Murray
