Be very carefull here. This is a newbie list, and I DO NOT RECOMMEND
ANYONE IN NEWBIE UPDGRADE THE RPM PACKAGES IN 7.2 TO RPM 4.
There are things that will break. For example MandrakeUpdate will no
longer work. You may loose part of your rpm database. The libs have
changed. You will HAVE TO update kde to the 2.0.1 or even 2.1 (better
choice).
My advice: DO NOT DO THIS ON A 7.2 MACHINE YOU CARE ABOUT!!!!
Sorry for the caps, but it is nice to have the latest software, it is even
nicer to have software that works. This is why a lot of times you do not
see updates for every package before the next release, some are just to
major.
