OK, go with following: 1) uninstall KDE1 (#rpm -e --nodeps kde....) 2) uninstall all from KDE2 RPMs you installed. then check: http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_install.html http://kde2.newmail.ru/mandrake.html Follow necessary links, when you finish everything KDE2 should be working... and do not forget following: --------------------------------------- exit KDE, go to console then 1) cd $HOME 2) cp .kde .kde_copy 3) rm .kde then restart KDE2 should rebuild all settings If you had some settings/savings in KDE2 before, you can then copy it from backup --------------------------------------- As you haven't uninstalled KDE1 first, you can have a lot of things mixed.
