Subject: "Right" way to update KDE
I have RH 7.1. I need to update my KDE desktop to 2.2.1. I did it once by
installing the RPMs using the --force option but things got wierd. Apps not
starting completely, odd errors, other stuff.

Anyway, I went back to the original KDE 2.1.1 but now my KMail archive, of
which I made a backup, is not compatible with this previous version of KMail
(DOH!). So, I need to move forward. But this time, I want to do it without
the --force option on RPM so I am confident all the dependencies, etc. are
correct.

Anyone out there have some advice or know of a good HowTo?
