Hi to all,
Some time ago I installed the core part of KDE-3.5.2 (aRts, Kdelibs,
Kdebase and Kde-i18), just to have a proper graphical environment to
work with BLFS. I had only the required and recommended dependencies
available at this time.
Now my system contains much more of the optional packages and I would
like to update the already installed KDE packages and then go on with
the rest of the KDE.
I saw that there is a newer version of KDE available (3.5.5) and I would
like to give it a try.
I would like to know if is it OK to overwrite the existing 3.5.2
installation with the 3.5.5 version or should I uninstall first.
What is the proper approach in general and in case of the KDE?
The uninstall step won't be so easy, I think, because I installed KDE
with /usr prefix. I would have to unpack and configure again the sources
of the already installed KDE-3.5.2 packages and make uninstall.
Is this step necessary before installing KDE-3.5.5?
Of course I am going to do it in the console mode, with X server down.
Do you have any recommendations?
Regards,
Jerzy Goca
