    Suse 11.2 upgraded to OpenSuse 11.3 milestone 5 KDE Live CD

    I have Suse 11.2 x86-64 installed with KDE, Gnome and XFCE. I have the 11.3 milestone 5 x86-64 CD.

    How do I update my KDE packages and OpenOffice to KDE 4.4.2 to OpenOffice 3.2 using the CD?

    I'd use the terminal way

    Hello - it's been a long time since I last used SUSE, but if I remember correctly there was an option to install packages from a CD by using the Yast package tool, so you might check that if you haven't done so already.

    Maybe someone running OpenSUSE will reply with more details.

    The easiest way is to just install and select update.

    You can install packages from the CD/DVD by adding the drive to the repository list.

    I'd disable any other repositories to avoid confusion.

    You are aware that 11.3 is still beta???

    The video driver off the 11.3 milestone 5 cd wont' work after full installation once a warm boot, yet the kde gui is working off live cd somehow to click the installation icon on the desktop in the first place.

    The installation mode off the GRUB manager goes to a black screen...nothing happens. Can I update KDE packages via the terminal or somewhere in Yast from teh CD? I hate re-downloading all those packages with Yum.

    Geforce 8800 GTX - 3 1/2 years old! Video driver never works in milestones!

    Boot to terminal log in as root

    type

    sax2 -r 0=vesa

    that is a zero

    See if the vesa driver will work.

    Then maybe add the NVIDIA propritary driver
