Thanks

I have picked up the packages and tried them but still get similar problems.
I'll try again and see how it goes.

I've been running KDE 3.1 on SuSE 8.1 for a couple of weeks, it works 
well. There were instructions on the SuSE mailing list to update via 
yast2. Alternatively I just downloaded the rpms, and "rpm -Uvh *.rpm", 
I think there was one conflict, which I sorted by deleting the old 
.rpm, also you could do a "rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *.rpm" as a last 
resort

Alternatively just paste 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.1/yast-sourc
e

into Yast2 Online Update, and it'll be automatic
