Thanks. It still also resides in SOME (very few) kde mirrors. Here's the big question...did you actually install it and get it working? After downloading and installing, all was wrong with the world. First, installing it, even with menu-3.0.5-43mdk installed, it segfaults during the rpm install on /usr/bin/upgrade-menus. Both qt2 and kde rpms segfault it. Once it IS all installed, the system is broken. SOME things work, most do not. Looking deeper into it, even though I got NO dependency missing messages, it appears that you HAVE to "upgrade" just about every rpm on your system to 7.2beta or Cooker level - all because you need to upgrade menu, apparently, even beyond menu-2.1.5-43mdk, because of the segfaults on upgrade-menus. To upgrade menu, to 4.0, which is all that is left, you must upgrade glibc to glibc-2.1.95 or 2.1.96. Doing THIS will break all the other rpms on your system, so you must upgrade them as well. It APPEARS that the "stable" kde 2.0 cannot be used except on an unstable, beta-only distro like 7.2beta or Cooker. There is a README I read on one mirror yesterday that indicated you could run kde 2.0 on other mandrake versions, but you had to upgrade a few rpms (pam, menu, a COUPLE others). Problem is, it is NOT a few rpms. As I described above, to "simply" upgrade menu alone requires an entire cascade of other upgrades to satisfy dependencies. At least with RedHat, though they offer glibc-2.1.95 (and 2.1.96) they ALSO have a glibc-compat rpm NOT for OLD glibc, but for the previous glibc that was in RedHat 6.2, which is essentially 2.1.3. No such beast exists for Mandrake so if you upgrade glibc to upgrade menu to install kde 2.0, you break everything. In for a penny, in for a pound. praedor philomena wrote: > > here's one... > > http://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/kde/stable/2.0/distribution/rpm/Mandrake/ > > Praedor Tempus wrote: > > > > Real nice.
