OpenSUSE Trinity Repository Installation Instructions

OpenSUSE Trinity Repository Installation Instructions

1. Remove KDE3 related packages

In case you already have openSUSE's KDE3 installed on your computer, you must uninstall it prior to installing Trinity. But even if you have not installed KDE3, you may have some KDE3 packages installed on your system. At this time, you cannot have both working KDE3 and working Trinity on the same computer.

To uninstall KDE3, type the following command:

zypper remove arts hal kdeaccessibility3 kdeartwork3 kdebase3 kdebindings3 kdeedu3 kdegames3 kdegraphics3 kdelibs3 kdemultimedia3 kdenetwork3 kdepim3 kdesdk3 kdetoys3 kdeutils3 kdewebdev3
