I installed the KDE3.0 packages last night, just to take a look. They failed to install properly. As instructed (by the Mandrake web page) I downloaded all the rpms and then ran 'urpmi *' in the download directory. It failed on kdesdk and asked me if I wanted to try without dependancy checking. I said yes and it failed again, compaining about a cpio error in kdesdk. It asked if I wanted to --force it, I said yes an it installed, without kdesdk.
I logged out, but KDE3 was not available from KDM. So I rebooted and there is was. I logged in, made a few changes as mentioned in the "known problems" sections of the install instructions and everything appears to work fine (well, kstars crashes as it starts up). I had a look around and was impressed. I eventually logged out and my other half logged in to check her e-mail. She did not select KDE3, but got it anyway. Logging out and reselecting plain KDE (i.e. not the KDE3 selection) from kdm also resulted in getting KDE3. I didn't want to force the upgrade on other users yet. Is it possible to still run KDE2 from kdm while the KDE3 install is present? Thanks, Nick.
