Mike,
kde2 was only just released this week; kde1 is what ships with mandrake 7.1.
The kde website (www.kde.org) has an release announcement and links to ftp
directories with all the rpms.
I downloaded the ones for Mandrake 7.2 (the only Mandrake ones I've found so
far) but they don't appear to be appropriate for 7.1 which, along with kde1,
is what I have on my system. When I tried to install the first package I got
an error message:
error: failed dependencies:
libQwSpriteField.so.1 is needed by kmp3-1.0-5mdk
libuulib.so.5 is needed by kdenetwork-1.1.2-17mdk
Looking at the rpm itself I find the description mentions the QwSpriteField
and uulib stuff but don't see the libraries actually listed:

/usr/lib/libmimelib.so.1.0.1
Has anyone else had any luck installing the 7.2 rpms for KDE2 on 7.1? Or has
anyone found a site with versions for 7.1?
