Hi,
And now I have some questions to the webmaster of kde.org and to the developers: Why is it so difficult to update? I had to download 8 files and in the FAQ was written i have to download only 3 files. Then i unpack it, and it still does not work. Why don't you make a more detailed/completer installation guide?
Well the problem (or the advantage) is, that there does not exist a standard Linux. Installation does debend on which dirto you are using. And because different distos are using slight different mechanism inside it's not possible to write a general installation guide.
I have to say that this is one of the largest disadvantages of Linux. It would be a big step if there would be a standard on which every distro is build. It would make installation a lot easier. Espacielly for beginners. For example I'm not using SuSE, so I don't know if the hint I will give you will work, but I try it:
Add a file with the following content to /etc/X11/Sessions:
[code:1]
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/your/kde/bin/startkde
[/code:1]
I think kde should be installd in /opt/kde3.1 or something simmilar. Save the file as 'kde 3.1'
Then make the file executable and restart X (CRTL-ALT-Bachspace (not delete)).
Hope that will work for you.
