It makes sense that the Mandrake instructions should supercede any
conflicting Red Hat instructions.
Those Red Hat 5.2 instructions didn't allow for all the KDE files being
installed into /opt/kde.
Mandrake 5.3 and Red Hat 6.0 both work fine with a single 465 MB "/"
partition. (I have 500MB extra for Linux, using 32MB for swap).
Just don't install "everything"...
