I could not get the RPM's to work on my MDK 7.0 machine.
It has been stated that the .tar files are to be used,
As they are more reliable at this time.
And they worked fine for me at least.

Yes the rpm's are out! kde2 is looking very very sweet. It even feels
faster. You can get them at this page on the kde.org site.
http://koffice.kde.org/install-binaries.html
In general I was really happy with what I am seeing. I had the following
problems on install.
1. openssl must be installed. It won't work without it. It needs certain
libs.
2. It can never find /usr/bin/perl even if it exists. So when it balks
just install the rpm --nodeps and it works fine.
3. The page above has links to pages that first give you an order to
install kde2 and allow you to run kde2 in parallel with kde even sharing
apps between the two.
4. It has the same bug in K(menu) > panel > Edit Menu as kde1 on 7.1 *sigh*
otherwise it seems to be headed in the right direction. The interface is
very smooth. Graphics and colors are more "alive" all in all it's going
to be a really nice product.
