If you try to install cooker packages, you will probably break your system. a)Cooker packages are often unstable b)Cooker packages are built against cooker libraries etc - so the dependencies will mean you end up with a complete cooker system. What you actually want are backports. (i.e. the latest package of KDE, built against the 2006 release. Some working versions of KDE 3.5rc1 are here - if you wait a few days, the 3.5.0 release will appear! Note: read the readme about KDM, or you WILL leave yourself with a broken display manager (and unable to log in) http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac//kde2006.0.html [To anyone using the RC1 RPMS - they work great, but don't try locking your KDE desktop - you can't unlock it again!
