OpenSUSE 11.1: enable the KDE4.2 repos

When you're running openSUSE 11.1, and you want to use the KDE 4.2, just add these repo's and do a full update:

zypper ar --refresh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/42/openSUSE_11.1/ kde42
zypper ar --refresh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE_42/ kde42-community
zypper ar --refresh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_11.1_KDE_42/ kde42-playground

After that you can do a full refresh and update all:

zypper ref -f && zypper up -t package

Sometimes a distro upgrade is needed (only in rare cases)

zypper dup
