Being a quite recent distribution I am sure RH9 has an software update mechanism.

When in doubt ask on a Red Hat specific forum.

thanks for reply anda_skoa

i visited KDE's download site where i found RedHat 9 specific downloads but all packages we have to install individually. i downloaded and installed Mozilla FireFox (as included is only Mozilla in RHL9) it has Installer which is easy to install all its components/files and for KDE we have RPMs, that is why i asked about Script. anyway thanks again.

The download server and its mirrors are package sources but instead of downloading them individually it is usually more common to let the distribution's package management/download system handle it.

This also automates updates later on as the system can detect the new version and get it on request.

The packages might also be available in the distribution's package repository and only mirrored to KDE's download servers.
