Installing KDE 3.0

[TheQuirk]

How do I uninstall KDE 2.2 and make a fresh KDE 3.0 install?

Step by step instructions would be much appreciated!

lucky for you, we already had this conversation.

but its pretty simple. At the command line do
# rpm -qa | grep kde
you have to remove all the rpms that he shows, make sure to remove the dependencies first if it shows any.
to remove most of the kde rpms do:
# rpm -e kde*.rpm
then do "rpm -qa | grep kde"
and remove whats left that it shows.

After that you have to dl the RPMs for KDE3 and go into the directory where you downloaded them and do:
# rpm -Uvh *.rpm --nodeps --force
and that should do it, i think.

And how do I remove dependencies?   :confused:

Never mind, got it.

On the other hand, I can't figure this one out: How do I keep Mandrake from not booting into graphic mode (and letting me load KDE3?)

Go to: /etc/inittab and look for this line:

Code: [Select]

Change the "5" to a "3": that will cause'Drake to boot into Run Level 3. This is the command line mode without X. You can always type in "startx" when you want to use the GUI.
