Open a terminal and become su -
Copy and paste this code with your mouse:

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4/ kde46

zypper ref

(a) to accept

Older versions:
11.3:

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ kde46

11.2

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.2/ kde46

• Step 2: Switch packages

Once the repo is added - close the terminal and open Yast > Software Management
And do as shown here: Switch to kde46 repo

KDE:/Release is stable, Distro:/Factory a development version. absolute
bleeding edge (weekly snapshots from trunk, i think) is KDE unstable.
Distro:/Factory is quiet stable at times; on occasion that changes though.
