  I'm sure this has been beat to death already, but I just joined so I don't know the answer yet ;).

  I downloaded the binaries for KDE3 for Red Hat 7.2 and tried the instructions and they didn't work. the instructions were:

   cd /where/you/downloaded/the/KDE3/RPMS
   rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde`
   rpm -Uvh *rpm

  Whenever I do the first rpm command it comes back with about 2 pages of other packages that are dependancies therefore it doesn't remove the old installation. 

  Any help on how to remove the old installation and install kde3 would  be appreciated. if I have to i'll reinstall RH7.2 without kde installed and install it fresh, but I'm afraid that I'll lose some functionality.

  Lookin forward to hearing from people
