qt-1.41 can be found at: http://www.troll.no/dl
the rpm's for kde v1.0 can be found here:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/kde
i've downloaded and installed in order:
kdesupport
kdelibs
kdebase
then add'l packages in any order: kdegames, kdegraphics, kdeutils, kdemultimedia,
kdenetwork
i found the installation guide straightfoward for both qt and kde, mind you there
is a lot there.
kde is sluggish for systems with a full install of less than 64mb so keep that in
mind.
regards,
jack
