Familiarize yourself w/ all the RPMs in Kpackage, as well as the ones on
the CD's. I found that I had alot of packages installed that I'd never
use, and then some that I'd use, but didn't install. Compatlib would
indicate a compatiblility library (feel free to correct me), so there's
probably some package you need to install to satisfy some dependency. I
just installed nearly everything, and then, later, uninstalled packages
as I decided I wasn't going to use them. This is just my experience, as
I'm in no way a "seasoned" linux user. Later.
