Here I am ;-)
No, I wouldn't recommend to get rid of KDE 1 if you use cooker's rpms
(of any KDE-1 application that is not part of the standard packages).
But if you download the whole lot of KDE-2 packages from www.nebsllc.com,
you can use it as your every day desktop (like I do).
Note that all KDE-2 packages (mine and nebsllc's) use /opt/kde2, so
using both KDEs is no problem. See http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html
for how to set up KDE 1 and KDE 2 for the same user (you can run apps
of one from the other, and you can even select in kdm which one to use
at login time).
