openSUSE KDE 4.7 Reloaded CD?

[mdinon]

Hello,

I am sorry if I missed this information somewhere else but could someone tell me if there are any plans to do a 11.4 "reloaded" installable live CD? I remember seeing these in the past for some major KDE releases.

If there are no plans for a 11.4 CD with KDE 4.7 then I have a couple questions, would it be best to install the regular 11.4 with KDE and zypper dup to the KR47 repo, or would I be better served doing a minimal install (no KDE) then add the KR47 repo and install the KDE desktop?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

I just tested a 11.4 install from the DVD, updated.
Then added R47
Switched to it. Works perfectly.

Thanks, was your install from the DVD a minimal install or did you update from the DVD supplied KDE?

Just select kde : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/11....top_Option.jpg
add additional software: base-development, kernel-source: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/11....evel_added.jpg
All from the DVD installer
When install complete, did a full update
Added R47 and did the equivalent of this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Swi...e46_switch.png
That's an older version switch pic, but same principle.

Thanks. Good to know the upgrade is smooth. I was curious if anyone had just installed KDE 4.7 without installing KDE 4.6 first. Maybe if I get some time I will try a minimal X install, add the KDE47 repo, then do a zypper pattern to install KDE 4.7.

I see.
IIRC there is a error involved with trying the pattern. Let me check it.

Yes here
SUSE Paste
So mine is unchecked, I just switched using the repo view as described earlier.

Thanks for the heads up, sounds like an upgrade from an installed KDE desktop is the way to go at this point.

Hello caf4926,

How do I add R47? Please refer to my latest post "KDE 4.7 is out" in Pre-Release/Beta sub-forum.

Thanks in advance.
