Roman this is exactly the way I did it and I had no problem except with
printing, I broke cups somehow. So, the thing is did you really have the
install from KDE2.1beta2 or a lower release? My install of 2.1 final was on
top of the beta 2 and I had to add two other packages I can't remeber and add
"apdm" package. Wait I'll look and see what they were, (into konsole looking
at kpackage) ok, I think it was libg++ and a glibc package. Then I went to
console mode completely out of KDE and used the rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force
*.rpm and then did the rpm --rebuilddb and then upgrade-menus -v and
then rebooted and here I am back with KDE2.1 If this is the same way that
you did it I do not understand the problem except.......... Civileme
indicated that you should be sure and do the hdparm -d1 /dev/hd? with the
question mark being your harddrive letter. That optimisation may be the
difference? I have just reached the end of my knowledge base, hope something
in all that mess helps you.
