KDE 3.0 has been released - Get It!

<< < (3/7) > >>

gnomez:
I have a 24k connection, so there's no way I'm downloading KDE 3.0 yet  ;)   I'll wait until SuSE 8.0 comes out later this month.  From what some of you are saying, however, it sounds like it is quite good.  I thought KDE 2.x had plenty of features for me but what it needed was a speed boost, (Konqueror start-up, in particular) better font support, and more GUI config tools.  And perhaps a more mature version of KOffice.  Hopefully KDE 3 addresses some of my complaints, and it sounds like it does.

PS I really like that about being able to choose what fonts to do AA on KDE 3.  Very cool indeed!

do you mean "ftp://download.au.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0/Red%20Hat/i386/
and i use "mget" dont i?

No, I meant exactly what I said. "wget" and "http".  "wget" is a separate utility that you may not have installed. "wget" can download via http or ftp URLs. It's *not* an FTP client. But you can certainly use "ncftp" or "ncftpget" would be a similar way to download as "wget" but limited to ftp URLs only. You probably have "wget" on your installation CD but didn't install it. I find "http" URLs are usually much faster than FTP.

Master of Reality:
how do i use wget to dl multiple files?? i looked throughout the MAN pages, but couldnt find anything about dling multiple http files.


Do you think it would be worth... anything, to install "Linux V1."?

if it was ftp i could just put "*.rpm" at the end of the URL, But HTTP:// doesnt support wildcards, even if i turn globbing on.

I said "usually". It obviously depends on the load of the server at the time. Usually limits are put on FTP servers that are not on web/httpd servers.
