You can quite happily install KDE 2.1 with KDE running, as long as
you reboot immediately it is done.
Don't use any --nodeps or --force unless you know exactly what you
are doing.
It's not too difficult:
1. Download the unsupported/KDE2.1 directory and set to there in a
terminal window.
2. rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
This will show you the difficulties.
3. Install the apmd rpm if it expected to find it.
4. Install the ppp rpm if it expected to find it.
5. If you have a libarts2 rpm installed delete it.
6. rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
again. All should be clean now.
7. If kdelibfakes.so.0 persists, do an install of libarts2 from the
KDE 2.1 directory.
8. rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
All is clean?
9. Remove the libarts2 rpm
8. rpm -Uvh *.rpm
If any kdelibfakes errors you MAY have to repeat with --nodeps.
10. Run rpm --rebuild
11. Run makemenu -v
12. Reboot.
