Download everything from
ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/2.1/distribution/rpm/Mandrake/7.2/i586 into a
single directory (I did not download all of the i18n stuff)
then rpm -Uhv --test * to make sure that all is ok
which told me I was missing apmd (power management for laptops) Exactly
WHY that is a dependency is a mystry to me, it should be optional, anyway
I just grabbed it from rpmfind.net and installed it, although it should
be on the Mandrake 7.2 cd's. I was doing the install remotely, and did
not have the cd's handy.
and finally a rpm -Uhv * --nodeps --force
I needed to add a --nodeps because of a lesstif library on my system (I
installed OpenMotif instead of Lesstif and had the library in question,
just not installed thru rpm), most folks will not have this problem.
I also needed to use a --force since some files seem to have been moved
between packages, and rpm was not able to deal with that. You might be
able to use the --replace-files option also.
