Well, in your other 'deps' post I ran the first one (wprv and
frpm are aliases of mine)
~ $ wprv libSDL1.2
libSDL1.2-1.2.3-1mdk
~ $ frpm libSDL1
libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.3-1mdk
libSDL1.2-1.2.3-1mdk
So I hope you tried to satisfy as many of those dependencies as
possible before you "followed the suggestions", which I infer to be
--nodeps --force of your kde3 rpms. It's not to late you can still
install the needed deps. http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ or
SoftwareManager and you're 8.0 CD's are your friends. Just search
either for the indicated missing dependencies. Pay attention to
version and patch levels. In many cases, one rpm will satisfy several
missing deps. Since most were lib deps, it'd be a good idea to run
'ldconfig -v' when you're done satisfying them.
It would've been better if you'd have 'rpm -ivh *', searched and
installed the deps, and then repeated 'rpm -ivh *' until you got no,
or minor missing deps. Then 'rpm -ivh --nodeps --force' would be a
lot less risky. In the situation with installing kde3 to opt, while
kde2 is in /usr, conflicts can probly be expected and ignored.
As for kde 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 being co-installed, yes, you could do
it just like havin kde2 with kde3 installed to /opt. BUT, I'd suggest
you upgrade over (rpm -Uvh) 2.2.1 with 2.2.2. Many bug fixes for kde
2.2.1 are in 2.2.2
