KDE on 64 bit system

Tue Mar 30, 2010 4:06 pm
Dear all,
I have slackware 13.0 64bit with KDE 4.2 installed. If I want to upgrade it to 4.4, does it matter if I have a 64bits machine?

Also does KDE come one whole complete packages bundle, instead of in modules?

regards,

No, or at least it shouldn't. As long as there are packages (assuming you use a package-manager of some sort - have no experience with Slackware myself) for 64-bit available that shouldn't be an issue.

Probably as modules, but that is up to the distro to decide and how the different modules are separated can differ. Questions like this is probably better asked in a distro-specific forum.

ok, thanks. If I want to upgrade KDE, do I need to remove all the available packages or I can do it one by one? If I can do it one by one, which package that are needed to be removed first and last?
