FYI,
I followed these instructions, but there is more.
1. On my 7.2 system (installed development system from ISO images), the
following dependencies are missing.
pciutils, ppp, apmd, autoconf, automake, enscript, gettext, libjpeg-devel, m4
I downloaded these from rpmfind and tried again.
2. With all dependencies satisfied, there were several remaining conflicts
between 2.1 and 2.0 packages, so I had to use --force.
3. after telinit 5, kde 2.1 came up ok.
4. The panel is present, but most of the icons have the gearwheel (generic
icon) instead of the expected icon.
5. I've only tried konqueror and kmail at this point, but these seem to be ok.
