downloading and compiling

[William Bryan]

If you go to KDE's web site, they have KDE already compiled and in rpm's.  You
should be able to use the upgrade switch to rpm to have it update to a new version.
The trick is to install the packages in the correct order.  When I went from 1.0. to
1.1, the 3 packages that have to be installed were all dependent of each other and
had to be installed with the same time ( all three with one rpm command ) to satisfy
the dependencies.

I looked at the web site. 2.01 is there, ready to go for Mandrake 7.2.
