Installation of KDE isn't too difficult. First, you need a recent
version of the QT library (I use 1.41), available from www.troll.no.
Next, as far as the distribution files themselves, you want
kdesupport
kdelibs
kdebase
kdeadmin
kdegames
kdeutils
kdenetwork
kdegraphics
So look for RPMs beginning with those names.
Installation is fairly easy (rpm -i packagename) but the order you
install is important. After installing the QT library, you'll want
to install kdesupport first, then kdelibs, then the others.
BTW: anyone on the list playing with new kde snapshots?
