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. Civileme
