As it is a general KDE question, it is the wrong mailing list! Please ask 
your question again at the kde-user mailing list.

(Archives: for example: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ (if you do not want

I am by no way a RedHat specialist, but at first view I would say you have 
bad luck. If RedHat jumped the version number from 6 to 7, then I suppose 
that some main system libraries have changed too. So I would think you 
cannot upgrade KDE using RPM for version RH7.

But as told, please ask the question again at the right mailing list!

Greetings:

I went thru the FAQ list without finding an answer to my question.

I downloaded the Red Hat binaries from the sourceforge mirror for KDE 2
which includes KOffice.

What I was looking for was sequence documentation for upgrading with the 26
rpm files on the sourceforge mirror.

Since the sourceforge mirror files are listed as RH 7, there may be more
upgrading necessary for me to get the KDE 2 binaries installed.

My current Linux system is RH 6.2. In the past, upgrading with a small
number of files, I have been able to use the -query option of rpm to lean
"requires and provides" and the --test option.

It seems that a more positive method must exist for doing rpm upgrades that
learns or provides the install sequence information.

Regards,

Frank Kallio
