I've just recently upgraded to MDK 10 Official and have upgraded all my
kde files.
Since installing 'kdenetwork-kppp-3.2-17.1.100mdk.i586.rpm' I've
experience problems with the dialler. After installing the
/etc/ppp/options were changed,(cann't remember exactly how it went in
the 3rd line but it was something like this:
                lock
                noauth
                n***default
[where * = a letter])
and now does not want to always connect.
If I use 'wvdial' to connect and then disconnect and try 'kppp' I can
then get a connection with it sometimes.
Has anyone else experienced problems with this upgrade and if so how
did you overcome them if you have.

The .100 in the version number suggests to me that you are using 
thacs.rpm. Is this true? If so then you may have to consider updating 
all of kde from thacs site or uninstalling that rpm and issuing:
   

In this case these are the rpms as listed in an announcement from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ( MDKSA-2004:086 - Updated kdelibs
and kdebase packages fix multiple vulnerabilities). The "100mdk.i586.rpm"
part indicates these rpms are for 10.0. The 9.2 rpm are labeled
"...92mdk.i586.rpm"

Thank you for putting me right on that. It was updating those very 
packages that got me in strife in the first place AND they came from 
thacs.rpms. Good to see thac is not at fault 'cause I like his site and 
prefer to use it. I have since also learnt that when updating or even 
installing kde one must do so from a text console with all WMs closed. 
NB. Do not use kppp or any other kde app whilst installing/upgrading kde.
