re: kde 3.4

[The DJ]

Hey,

Sorry, I didn't intend to start a flame war about
customization.  I just use the rpms from the
kde-redhat-stable and I saw they had 3.4 KDE
available.  I wanted to use it if it wouldn't break my
computer when I try to upgrade to FC4 later on in
June.  I had accidentally half-updated to 3.4 with the
artwork because I didn't notice the version number
when I yummed, so I was trying to see if it was ok to
do the rest of it.

I guess, from the responses, that it probably isn't
going to be a big deal to do it.

For the record, [for me] it's not about being
different from Fedora or that I think they have a
broken KDE.  I just like having the latest stuff and
if I can have it now instead of June, I will.  (As
long as it doesn't give me a larger headache in June)

Agree - I've always had the latest KDE stable using konstruct.  I'd
suggest to you, set the KDEHOME environmental variable to something
useful say ~/Settings.  Once FC4 comes, if you're doing an upgrade,
remove the kde-redhat-stable RPMS you installed and install FC4's. 
Your old ~/Settings KDEHOME directory will carry your preferences
through KDE versions.  The only downside, anything you built against
the old KDE version will have to be rebuilt against the new one.

You can set up yum to exclude kde stuff from FC4 and continue using kde 
from elsewhere if thats what you prefer
