New KDE versions come up real fast.

next as root
Don't forget to remove one redundant package:
And reboot your system

Re: Slackel current KDE 4.8.1 images are released
Thanks for sharing, djemos. I will definitely take a look at the 4.8.2 build. I'm perfectly satisfied with SalixOS but I'm always curious when people do new distros and try interesting things with Slackware
Re: Slackel current KDE 4.8.1 images are released
Caitlyn, Slackel and Salix have different goals.
Slackel uses slackware's "current" branch and the latest KDE desktop. So with slackel i can test and prepare new things which later will be part of salix when slackware stable will be released and i will build salix kde edition installation and livedvd's.
Since kde 4.5.5 to 4.8.2 a lot of things have changed in kde.
Also it is an opportunity for anyone want to have slackware current + latest kde installed. I use it for everyday work, this is my main system and it is stable, i have no problems.
Thanks for your time to look at slackel kde 4.8.2.
