What I meant is to enter as root into the terminal:

Code:

urpmi kde

then download the kde libs and kdebase. However, best way is to download an rpm and install it with an:

Code:

rpm -iv kde-3-4.rpm

make sure u install arts first then second libs and run ldconfig as root then you can add the last of the necessities kdebase after that install the rest of packages.rpm
