The 100mdk.i586.rpm part indicates these rpms are for 10.0. The 9.2 rpm are labeled ...92mdk.i586.rpm John (nz) Thank you for putting me right on that. It was updating those very packages that got me in strife in the first place AND they came from thacs.rpms. Good to see thac is not at fault 'cause I like his site and prefer to use it. I have since also learnt that when updating or even installing kde one must do so from a text console with all WMs closed. NB. Do not use kppp or any other kde app whilst installing/upgrading kde. -- Regards SnapafunFrank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

I think you may have solved my problems with KDE. That is, from text mode only and not having a WM up and running. Might have seen it before but it didn't sink in. Thanks again.
