Mandrake and KDE

[Bryce C]

My latest issue of Linux Format (June 02) came with RPMs for KDE3 and
the neccessary dependancies.  Worked flawlessly for me.  Contact me
off-list for a URL to my copy of the RPMs or see what their site
(http://www.linuxformat.co.uk) has to say.

Good Luck,
Bryce

P.S. I'm also running MDK8.2
