no such file in rpmseek or rpmfind Sorry to be blunt here but NO, your having an ID-10-T code issue here. If you dont know what that is just take out the dashes and look at it for a few seconds. Your not looking at the message and looking at what you already have in your folder that you DLed the KDE files to. ## 1---libarts == 1.1.0-1tex is in package libarts-1.1.0-2tex.i586.rpminstall this before installing arts-1.1.0-2tex.i586.rpm, its in the folder where you got the files. 2---kdelibs == 3.1-3tex is in package kdelibs-3.1-5tex.i586.rpm...install before installing kdelibs-devel-3.1-3tex, its in the folder where you got the files. 3---libarts == 1.1.0-1tex...same for (1), install before libarts-devel-1.1.0-1tex, its in the folder where you got the files. Use a little common sense sometimes. Also if they wont install then use rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps package.rpm command.

Re: [newbie] Lovin' KDE 3.1
I downloaded all the Texstar rpms to a single folder then did rpm -Uvh path/*.rpm (as root) from the console. The first time through I got a few dependency complaints which I quickly solved with the installation CDs. The second time through it chugged away and 46 or so RPMs later I logged out and back in (NOT a reboot) and was up and running. Incidently, I did this all from within a running KDE 3.05 (The recommended way is from another window manager or without X running.) Depending on how you setup urpmi, you should be able have the dependency problems solved automatically at the time you install. Good luck.
