praedictus's Journal: Box part V

Busy week:
Finally upgraded Kde from version 3.0.4. I never did get version 3.1.4 from slack 9.1 to work. Went through the entire process of downloading the source files, updating QT to 3.3.3, had problems getting the system to find the new qt files during installation - symlinks were ok but there was an old reference in /etc/profile.d that was bunging the works.
Updated Firefox to 1.0PR - minor quibbles here - installer didn't work, had to download alternate tar.gz. Extensions are all OK, DownloadWith needed a kludge, but is now working fine.
