Well, the README.INSTALL file was not correct, as it said that everything
but kdebase would install without dependency problems. I ended up having
to do an: rpm -Uvh --nodeps -force for about 5 of the 10 packages or so,
but it works for the most part, so I can't complain.
And let me be the first to say that KDE 2.1.1 is absolutely amazing.
Konqueror 0wn5 GNOME -- that's all I have too say.
;-D,
Eric
