KDE Upgrade to 3.0

[Tom Achtenberg]

I could try downloading the source if someone would give me explicit
instructions as how to compile them.  There are about 160 total rpm's.  I
installed 2.2.2 (actually upgraded from 2.1) using the Red Hat Update Agent.

I have been think about doing exactly this but now I want to watch how you
get it done.  Why be the guinea pig when there already is one?  ;^)

1. How did you install the KDE 2.2.2?

2. DON'T use "--nodeps"!  At least I won't ever again.  An upgrade is not
important enough to end up with a broken system.  That is what happened to
me, anyway.  Just MHO.

3. Have you considered installing from the source?  Sometimes the RPMs were
created or whatever (I don't fully understand them yet) on a system that
doesn't match your own in some way.  I don't know how many RPMs that were
"for RedHat 7.2" I have attempted and failed but compiling the source worked
fine once I had all the dependencies worked out.

4. Where did you get the RPMs?  I might go try it too, even though you are
the first "official" guinea pig.
