Well, th 0.1 alpha stuff only relates to the version of the .rpm package,
*not* KDE itself. Mandrake's default version is KDE 1.1-0.3finalrh5x. If
you have no problems installing and running KDE, stick to your version.

Where do you downloaded the set from? Please note that Mandrake uses
adjusted versions of some KDE packages (at least 'base'). Installing the
Redhat version will actually threaten to *break* KDE in Mandrake.
So don't do that then.
