I downloaded all the files in the directory mentioned earlier, except the KDEI subdirectory, and then, as root, went to the directory where I had downloaded everything, and typed upgradepkg *.tgz.

What's the problem with kde? Seems to work here, but I just tried it for the first time. Yes it works mostly (no major failures for me), but the recommendation I got (someone else replied on this list) was either to downgrade qt or upgrade kde to kde 3.1.1, which is what I did.
