I have no idea if this is the 'right' way, but all I did was download the RPMs and: rpm -ivh libqt3* rpm -ivh kde* --force Then I dropped to a console and did 'init 3', log out, log back in as my user and 'startkde3'. The only problems I have had on switching back and forth was with KMail (stored passwords and filters). If you drop the '--force' off, you'll see that all it is overwritting is the '/usr/lib/menu' entries. ie: /usr/lib/menu/kdegraphics-kcolorchooser /usr/lib/menu/kdegraphics-kcoloredit /usr/lib/menu/kdegraphics-kdvi /usr/lib/menu/kdegraphics-kfax /usr/lib/menu/kdegraphics-kfract There may be a better way, but this worked for me :) -- Live fast, die young, you're sucking up my bandwidth. ------ J.P.
