If you want the cutting edge KDE stuff then there is an additional repo, but?

if you just want 10.2's default KDE versions, then no added repos are?

needed.  Will assume that you did not do "Minimum X" or "Text Mode" install,?

so you have GNOME/gdm running.?

Either the CLI or GUI version of  yast2 will work.  Use the  "Patterns"?

filter, and select KDE Desktop environment.  Once the packages are?

installed, you can change the display manager from 'gdm' or 'xdm' to 'kdm'?

within the yast sysconfig editor module.  It is the DISPLAYMANAGER directive?

under Desktop/Display manager.  Change to DM that you want.?
?

If you do want to install "unsupported" software, I have the following repos?

installed:?

XOrg 7.2 Final: http://software.opensuse.org/xorg72/openSUSE_10.2?

Latest Mozilla: http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2?

Useful Stuff: http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.2?
?

opensuse.org is your friend.  It has a bunch of info regarding howtos and?

repos.?
?

Hope that helps!?

John?
