Steps I followed to install KDE 3.4 on my system
------------------------------------------------
I had the default KDE which is shipped with Fedora Core 2. I wanted to get the
new KDE 3.4 in my system. So, I used the steps below, and got it working. I
have noted down the sequence. Might be of help to you.

I opened www.kde.org and in the Download/Stable version section/Redhat(Unofficial packages)/Fedora Core 2/i386/RPMS 
... downloaded all the RPM files in a folder. 
I then copied all these files to /var/cache/yum/KDE-3.4/packages/ directory.

After that, I removed the package named below. 
I looked up google.com, rpmfind.net and freshrpms.net 
to install the packages under the "rpm -Uvh" section. 

After that, I just run YUM. As I had already put the RPMs in the yum folder, 
it installed them without waiting to download. 
I did that because yum is certainly much slower that any download accelerator. 
Though, some packages it did download for satisfying dependencies. 
But that doesn't take much time.

Hope you don't have any problems installing it.

One more thing is that I installed kaffeine 0.6 and amarok, 
which failed to work. Please tell me if they work for you.

For any queries mail to anurag_rana [AT] students [DOT] iiit [DOT] net 
.... or to anurag [dot] s [dot] rana [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks.

Regards,
Anurag.
