Well, 30 minutes after I sent my "it still doesn't work" post, I have
KDE functioning properly!
I did a bit more sniffing around on the KDE site and found the
following:
"3.5 Required Changes To Your Configuration Files
After you have placed the KDE binaries into their destination
directory, there are a few adjustments you must make to your startup
scripts.
The following procedure was tested on SuSE Linux 5.0, and should be
compatible with the other popular UNIX's as well. Always make
backups of configuration files before changing them! Add the following
to the end of your /etc/profile:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/kde/bin
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
Next, edit the .xinitrc file in your home directory. Look for the line
that calls your window manager and replace it with startkde."
I recalled the info I found earlier on the KDE site that told me RedHat
uses "Xclients" instead of "xinitrc". So I just replaced everything in
Xclients with "startdke". Typed startx, and presto! I now have KDE!
Now, once my network admin gets our server probs fixed, I'll get my
Linux box connected and I can go back to using my real e-mail account
instead of this blasted Yahoo mail...
Thanks :)
