IF YOU HAVE YOUR SYSTEM RUNNING LVM PARTITIONS AND A SEPARATE PARTITION FOR BOOT AND ROOT…

I have only had the minor problem of having to manually link my browser plugins for AF and JRE.
This distribution is excellent. KDE 4.3 is working great on my old laptop and my not so old desktop.
Used live CD to reinstall both.
Take it from me, LVM is the magic key to upgrading this OS. Fresh install leaves /home untouched.
Run YaST with the included repos first. Add others later. “Update if newer version available.”

GREAT WORK

Not as long as there are almost daily bugfixes / it is being worked on until openSUSE 11.2 release.

Fabulous! I have installed it yesterday, and I am very impressed. The precessor of KDE 4.3 had many flaws and often crashed on my system. This version of KDE is much more stable, and it looks great (Even better than Windows Vista :P)

Adding the Qt4.5 repository is wrong. The necessary Qt version is already included with the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repository.

At the moment KDE 4.3 is available in the factory tree. Will there be any changes in the future? Maybe there will be a tree called KDE:/43 ?

Tried booting LiveCD in VirtuaBox. Got this surreal output:

===> Booting System:
+ ´[' false = true ']‘
+ unmount proc
+ ‘[' no = yes ']‘
+ exec chroot . /sbin/init
chroot: cannot run command `/sbin/init’: Input/output error

Why not just grab the 11.2milestone5? This includes KDE-4.3.0 and kernel-2.6.31. There are KDE$-LiveCD versions.
