Dear Kompukit:

You can do

#rpm --rebuilddb 

and

#update-menus -v 

both in KDE"s konsole (or any xterm) or you can log out of KDE into the 
console, and do it there. If you have chosen to boot up to KDE directly 
(runlevel 5, i.e. graphically), then you should do this in KDE's xterm, then 
reboot. If you boot up to the console first (runlevel 3), then type startx to 
log into KDE, then you can perform these commands either in KDE or in the 
console, then log out back into the console after installation of KDE 2.1.1. 
and log back in or, to play it safe, just reboot.
