Ummm, which KDE2.0 do you have?
OK here--The UGLY method
===================================================
#!/bin/bash
for i in `rpm -qa|grep kde`
do
rpm -e $i
done
rpm --rebuilddb
# I am assuming your downloaded rpms are in /home/mark/KDE201
cd /home/mark/KDE2.01
rpm -ivh k*rpm
=====================================================
paste the lines between the ==== s into a text editor, change the directory
to the path and name where you have saved your downloads, and save the text
file somewhere creative like /home/mark/foo....
then open a terminal and su - to root
cd to the directory where you saved foo
./foo
