I assume "kde package for mandrake/redhat" means a binary RPM, which is
how I prefer to install things (yes, I know about the advantages of
compiling it yourself). However, the latest binary RPM for "kmysql"
installed itself in /opt/kde... rather than in /usr and thus was not
displayed in the menus. I would prefer to have KDE and all the apps
separated in /opt/kde if there is any way to install this way.
