Here is the output from unpacking it: [root /home/brian] rpm -Uvh kdebase-1.99-17mdk.i586.rpm warning: /etc/X11/wmsession.d/01KDE created as /etc/X11/wmsession.d/01KDE.rpmnew warning: /etc/menu-methods/kde created as /etc/menu-methods/kde.rpmnew warning: /etc/pam.d/kde created as /etc/pam.d/kde.rpmnew kdebase ################################unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users cpio: unlink I really don't believe rpm is the prob since all the other progs (and the restof kde1.99) installed perfectly. I have tried different sites for download, erasing all traces of kde from system and this still won't install......... Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point as I do want to stay with KDE.

Kde has worked fine for me up to the > 8/10/2000 release. It is being updated *at least* daily at the moment for 7.2 beta. There is probably a new version up already. As nobody has had your prob on the cooker list, & KDE is being looked at *very* hard, if the newest version doesn't fix the prob, I would suspect an incompatibility with something on your system - Maybe your version of rpm itself, or kpackage, if you use that - try different ways of unpacking it. -WBD
