I tried the official mandrake rpms soon after KDE3.0 was released. I
found them to be full of bugs and incompatibilities but I think they
have got them pretty much under control now.
I use the rpms from pclinuxonline.com Texstar's rpms rule. He has
chopped out a lot of debugging code so some of the packages are ~50%
smaller. I simply downloaded all non-devel rpms to a directory and
issued urpmi *.rpm as root. Doesn't get much easier than that.
The only thing I changed apart from adding kde3 to the list of window
managers was to edit the last line of my /etc/inittab to read
x:5:respawn:/opt/kde3/bin/kdm -nodaemon
this forces the use of kdm as the window manager.
kde2.2.1 is still installed but I never use it any more.
