Recently I upgraded KDE 2.1 -> 2.1.1 with XFree86 4.0.3. I had no problems,
but be carefull and follow the instructions.
1. download all the rpms to a directory.
2. test using: rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
3. take care of all missing stuff ( go to http://rpmfind.net a do search
there)
4. su - root
5. telinit 3
6. cd directory-with-kde-rpms
7. rpm -Uvh *.rpm
8. rpm --rebuilddb
9. update-menus -v
10. shutdown -r now
11. login to new KDE
Take care,
Eric Indiogine
