Sorry for beeing ignorant. What is this "installation program" supposed to
do? Shall it install KDE-2.0? I am aware that an installation program is
required for Windows Operating Systems in order to hide the fact that
Win9x,NT,2000 are all incompatible. But what is this "installation
program" supposed to do in exceess of launching rpm commands which can
easily be handled by a simple shell script.
