Trying to update to KDE 3.2.1

    I downloaded a complete set of Mandrake RPMs for KDE 3.2.1 (from here if anyoen is interested) into a directory and am wondering how to install them. Do I absolutely need to remove all the KDE 3.2.0 packages first or can I use the update switch of rpm?
    I tried just 
    rpm -ivh *.rpm
    from within the directory, but needless to say that was a bit of a flop.
    Is there a specific order to install all these packages?

    First thing to try is rpm -Uvh instead.
    This might be all you need, unless packages have changed names (happens a lot).

    If you still have problems, try removing any kde devel packages
    you have installed and try again. It'll remove a lot of dependencies.
    Failing that, upgrade your window manager to xfce4 :-)

    Hehe, yeah, I actually installed xfce by accident the other day, haven't got round to playing with it yet.
