Lessee,

Chris's rpms at the NEBS site are from the CVS tree on the way to 2.1  While 
they predate the 2.0.1 release date, they are from the CVS after the feature 
freeze for 2.0.1 and well on the way to 2.1.

Chris's rpms in Cooker which are compatible only with someone running Cooker 
are a 2.1prerelease.  The version nembers are not bad, but you WILL break 
things if you point MandrakeUpdate there and try a living upgrade of 7.2, 
because the packages are incompatible with 7.2.  

Mandrake's rpms in /Mandrake-devel/unsupported on your favorite mirror are 
KDE 2.0.1 release modified to work with the Mandrake system.  You won't find 
KMenuEdit, KAppfinder, or Ksysv there.  You will break some (eventually) 
self-repairing things if you Update using MandrakeUpdate from KDE.  The 
README file is in the nature of a pre-emptive strike so you can nudge the 
repair routines into action before cron does.
