[Gllug] Installing Stuff?

[James.Rocks at equant.com]

Hi,

Another question :-)

I have a slight aversion to Star Office so I am attempting to download KDE
Office 1.1.

Things being (apparently) as they are in the Linux/UNIX world (and despite
still being very MS oriented this does not neccessarily discourage me) it
told me it had dependencies (it asked for libkdefake.so.3 I think) and as
far as I can tell the dependencies appeared to indicate I needed a later
GUI than the 2.01 KDE2 I had.

So I downloaded KDE 2.21 (some 32 RPM files in all) and I am planning to
upgrade my current KDE2 (2.0.1) to 2.2.1 ... but exactly how do I do this?
In the Windows world you simply run install or setup but it seems a little
more complex here (not a criticism simply an observation) ...

Any ideas would be helpful ... I have 32 RPM files waiting in a directory
called "KDE 2.2.1" and I have little idea what to do with them?

James
