Paul,
The kdebase-2.1-2mdk.i586 rpm and kdegame-2.1-2mdk.i586 rpm files would
not get installed. I have moved on to KDE2.1 beta 2 as it supports
koffice. The 'Final Release' doesn't provide it. I will wait until
Version 8 is officially out. The KDE2.1 Final Release installation
should be quite transparent. I'm spending way too much time in front of
my computer for what should be an easy upgrade. Mandrake did a very poor
job in NOT providing any release notes for this final upgrade on their
already late rpms. I'm quite disappointed.
