If you just want to upgrade KDE and nothing else you just navigate to
this subdirectory, open a terminal there (^T) and run rpm -Uvh
*.rpm. QED!
Without the subdirectory, you would have to manually extract all the
relevant RPMs (how to tell?) into a work directory first. This is
error-prone,
rpm must be given all the RPMs to install in one hit - that's the
only way to get the mutual dependencies properly organised.
