KDE2 Rpms ar on contrib and seem to work tolerably well, but first one has to 
DL openssl,

and even with

ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.6.0 /usr/local/bin/perl

the blasted sdk rpm complains about no perl in /usr/local/bin

I did a --nodeps install and I get segfaults here and there and some 
freezeups that need ctrl-alt-backspace.

Anyone have any idea what other resources need to be symlinked at 
/usr/local/bin to keep KDE2 happy?

Next item--I used David Faure's advice on kde1-and-kde2.html and all the user 
I set up to test kde2 can use is KDE2, which comes up no matter what I 
select.  Furthermore, kdm does not show the KDE2 choice even after 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime.  It also appears that 
/etc/X11/.Xsessions is an artifact--a nice script no longer executed, and I 
am still looking for where things happen.

On the other hand--KDE2 is definitely quite nice.  I sold a Windows user 
die-hard by showing him KDE2.
