It's seems that's for kpackage you need to recompile it for kde-1.1pre?. So take the kpackage*.src.rpm file, and make : rpm --rebuild kpackage* > Oh one more thing how do i go about getting my tape backup to mount so > I can use kdat? What type of tape ?

Kdm take the default color from the root. If you want to change the background just edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 and put what you want.
