I tried to install the KDE 3.2.2 packages, twice, by downloading the files from a KDE.org mirror site and installing using the command rpm -Uvh *.rpm --force --nodeps I received an error when starting the newly installed KDE. Error loading kdeinit. Check installation. Has anyone had this problem and can help me?

Most likely you need to update a library or program that KDE uses. Using --force and -nodeps makes it so that you don't know what packages need upgrading. I would try rpm -Fvh --test /path/to/kde/upgrade/files/*.rpm or rpm -Uvh --test /path/to/kde/upgrade/files/*.rpm and see what packages are needed to upgrade kde. -- Best Regards, Keith NW Oregon Radio http://kilowatt-radio.org/ Pax melior est quam iustissimum bellum.

I tried that, found the qt libraries needed were qt 3.3 versus the 3.1 installed. I went to Trolltech downloaded and upgraded to 3.3, still no luck.

Get the rpm's for all of the 3.3 qt libraries from the Fedora test release rpm's and install those with the kde 3.2.2 rpms. I had to do this myself to install kde 3.2.2. It fixed the missing dependencies and now works flawlessly. Good luck. Barry
