Installing kde4


Hello,


I'm currently running fedora core 8 with kde 3.5. (default from installation). I was wondering if there is any good sites on how to install the latest kde4. The kde site provides instructions for building kde4 from source.

When I visited Rawhide, there isn't much documentation on how to install the kde4 rpm's.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide

However I downloaded all the kde4 rpms' that were on rawhide.

But when I try install the first kde4 package:
Code:
bash-3.2$ sudo yum install kdelibs-common-3.97.0-11.fc9.x86_64.rpm --nogpgcheck
Loading "priorities" plugin
0 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Examining kdelibs-common-3.97.0-11.fc9.x86_64.rpm: kdelibs-common - 6:3.97.0-11.fc9.x86_64
Marking kdelibs-common-3.97.0-11.fc9.x86_64.rpm to be installed

Error Summary
-------------
I get error saying it conflicts with the previous install version of kde. Is there a way to have both kde 3.5 and kde 4 installed at the same time?


Thanks,

djgerbavore
