Oh, I forgot to mention that this applies to *most* packages that come with 
either FC1 or RH9, not only KDE. OpenSSH and RPM seem to have some serious 
problems when you *incorrectly* (i.e. in wrong order) live-upgrade a RH8/RH9 
system to FC1. And so on. I've been live-updating some 10 systems over the 
years via RH7, RH8, RH9 and FC1 route :)

I would consider anyone trying to run FC1 binary packages on RH9 to be on his 
own and doing it at his own peril. I don't think anyone on this forum should 
even try to support that as it typically simply doesn't work for many non-kde 
packages as well.

Cheers, Kuba Ober
