Re: [expert] kde2 rpms on contrib disk.

No, they will not upgrade from the previous version.
further more trying to install kde2 while it is still
in development is not for the faint of heart. If you
do succeed and kde2 does load when you boot you will
see that a lot of things still do not work...

 Hi,
 
If I install the kde2 and qt2 rpm's on the
 contrib disk will it blow
 my existing kde installation away or will they
 coexist? It'd be nice if
 it
 added it to the chooser for kdm and let me switch
 back and forth. Does
 it do this?

dunno how it works, but I rather tell you: those are pretty old
(from last year! three months ago!). I wouldn't install them. Too much
development has evolved since. I rather try to download RedHat RPMS from
ftp://people.redhat.com/bero/RPMS/. I used to install them under mdk-6.1
and worked well. I hadn't tried under mdk-7, but I think they work. And if
you like it, check this url each 15 days. they put new rpms here.

good luck, and comment about result. I'm interested.
