Forgive me, I might not belong in the expert list,
but I'm trying to upgrade my Mandrake 7.1 installation
to KDE 2.0. Can anyone point me towards instructions for
doing this?
Running startx now starts XFree86 and I see it begin to outline
the menu bars at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes it gets as far as
opening up an xterm window but within a second or two the crash occurs.

Isn' there supposed to be a dependancy on QT-2.1.1?
When I searched rpmfind I didn't find any mandrake versions of QT-2.1.1
only the old 1.4ish versions.
Is work being done on putting out a Mandrake package of the new QT?
Do I need the new QT for KDE 2.0?
Now I didn't un-install the old KDE first.
But I learned that the kdebase package doesn't upgrade properly so it
is best to remove that one by hand.
Here's the RPM's I've downloaded from rpmfind.net most of them
have been installed which deal with kde, other's I've seen recommendations
that those packages be upgraded.
Some of thes rpms I had to --force and --nodeps because they interfered
with programs already installed which said new versions would break the
dependancies old programs had on the files I was upgrading.
