KOffice will be uploaded soon--a very much unchanged package

Quanta is not in the stable tree--fine for a beta but not for a final
Kdeaddutils is not in the stable tree--fine for a beta but not a final

kdepim conflict with imap will be corrected soon.

Now for the pclinuxonline.com  He has packages posted which he made (very 
good effort).  His warning applies to them.

If you want warnings for ours:

uninstall imap with rpm -e
urpme qt2
urpme kde
rpm -ivh *.rpm  #from the directory where you downloaded what you want
rpm --rebuilddb  # just to reorganize and compress, nothing likely broken

reinstall imap with --force
install quanta and kdeaddutils from your current versions or the most recent 
beta (preferably the second).  They are _NOT_ in the official release.

That is a drastic method of install but we have 
KDE 1.99
KDE 2.0
KDE 2.0.1
Any one of four releases from Chris Molnar
A total of 7 different situations from which you might start.

I know from Beta 2 of KDE 2.1 for 7.2 that KOffice and Quanta do not have to 
be uninstalled and the installation of the rest will work (though it is a 
pain to rip out kde packages one-by-one), but I don't have any other safe way 
to install all of the packages in the other unknown situations.

My install is working fine.  I have a test report posted at 

http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~civileme/kde_test_results

That one fails to test the advertised noatun.  The results I received with 
running noatun is that it goes into two levels of segfault if run without a 
valid connection.  Since I have no valid connection available, I cannot say 
whether it works.
