Any cooker mirror in the .../unsupported/...../kde2.1/ directory. I
d/l'd all but the *i18n*rpms.

these qt2 rpms are in the /kde2.1/ dir
libqt2-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
libqt2-devel-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
qt2-Xt-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
qt2-designer-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
qt2-static-libraries-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
.....and replaced all my previous 2.2.3 qt2's.
I upgraded from Chris Molnar's kde2.1b2 on a 7.2/2.4.2-4/XF-4.0.2
system. I d/l'd all the kde2.1 rpms ('cept i18n) to a dir by themselves and
ran 'rpm -Uvh *' I got failed deps for for 'pciutils', 'apmd' 'libmng1',
and 'libkdefakes'. So I got the latest appropriate src rpms for those,
rebuilt and installed them. Then I still got failed deps for 'libmng1' and
'libkdefakes', but a 'updatedb' then 'locate' check said that i did have
them. It took a 'rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *' to get all the new KDE2.1
pkgs to install. Then I ran 'rpm --rebuilddb', 'update-menus -v', and
'ldconfig' and restarted X (a few times).
That was last Saturday AM, and the system's been up since with no
problems. Kmail has no fixed width fonts available (but Knode and other
KDE apps do [?]), but I've seen others report the same for KDE2.1 with
other distros. Konqueror is much improved, as are many various kde2
features.
