Vic,
Here's the help file that I used:
If you want to upgrade KDE 2 to KDE2 Beta 2, download the files from the
following link:
http://atik.ciril.fr/pub/linux//mandrake-devel/unsupported/i586/kde2.1Beta2
Step 1.
Log on as root and download the kde2.1Beta2 rpms. Copy the rpms to a
new folder i.e. kdebeta and save the folder in your root directory.
Step 2.
Log out of X and log on in "console mode"
Step 3.
Type in: cd Type in: rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
If everything goes well, remove the -- test. The verbose command will
show if something is missing.
If you are missing certain rpm files or libraries, navigate back to that
ftp site and download the files.
Step 4.
Type in: rpm --rebuilddb
Give this some time and above all do not interrupt it.
Step 5.
Type in: update-menus -v
Give this time. D o not interrupt it.
Reboot you computer. That's it.
