Hmm, very strange.  I didn't bother downloading any at all.  I just
tried "up2date kdegraphics" from the ~/home directory and it started
downloading the files; command wasn't entered from the install cd.  On
the other hand "up2date noatun" didn't work, whereas "up2date
kdeaddons-noatun" did (dependencies solved, files downloaded and
installed).  So it seems the command requires at least the proper file
name instead of just the program name.  Recall that when I began I
didn't have kde installed whatsoever.  Maybe up2date wants to be sure
you don't already have the files in question, like it wants to scan for
what's installed, solve dependencies, etc, all on it's own.  Oh well,
not quite as clear-cut as apt but it's a step in the right direction at
least.  More poking around should clear up the mystery.
