I have been having trouble with my E-MAIL on prodigy.net
so I don't know if this ever got posted or no so I'll try
again.

Any help would be apreciated.

I down loaded the KDE 2.1.1 binary rpm files and followed the
instructions in the REAME.INSTALL file.

I placed the first group of files mention in the 'README' file in their
own sub-directory and executed a 'rpm -Uvh  *.rpm' command.  Contrary to
the 'REAME' file, rpm complained that
there were other rpm files needed by this set of  rpms.

I then proceeded to move these additional rpms into the same
sub-directory and executed the 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' command again.

This time I did not get any files/modules missing errors but I did get
the following errors:

  file /usr/bin/moc from install of libqt2-devel-2.3.0-2mdk         
conflicts with file from package qt-devel-1.44-28mdk

  file /usr/lib/libqt.so from install of libqt2-devel-2.3.0-2mdk   
conflicts with file from package qt-devel-1.44-28mdk

  file /usr/X11R6/bin/gccmakedep from install of 
      XFree86-devel-4.0.3-1.1mdk conflicts with
       file from package XFree86-4.0.1-28mdk


Should I re-execute the rpm command using the  '--force' option?

This is suppose to be an 'UPGRADE' to my existing  KDE installation.

The set of  'first'  rpms I trying to upgrade with are:

    +        XFree86-devel-4.0.3-1.1mdk.i586.rpm
             XFree86-libs-4.0.3-1.1mdk.i586.rpm
    +        XFree86-static-libs-4.0.3-1.1mdk.i586.rpm
             XFree86-xfs-4.0.3-1.1mdk.i586.rpm
             freetype2-2.0.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
             kdelibs-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
    +        kdelibs-devel-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
    +        kdelibs-devel-static-libraries-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
             kdelibs-sound-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
    +        kdelibs-sound-devel-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
             kdesupport-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
    +        kdesupport-devel-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
             libarts2-2.1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
             libmng1-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
             libqt2-2.3.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
    +        libqt2-devel-2.3.0-2mdk.i586.rpm


Note:   the rpms with the  '+' beside them are the ones I had 
to add to get the rpm command to stop fussing about missing
stuff.
