Hi Dave, 

Can't help you with the K3B stuff but

<snip>
> The only other thing that confuses me is what acrhitecture I'm running on.  Other than the fact they are different and it matters for various rpms. I don't really know the difference, but #uname -p gives i686 but when I run yum, it looks on the RH-i386 servers...

You are running an i686 but most distros compile for the lowest common
denominator and target i386 (P1), I believe i686 is P4/AthlonXP
although a google should confirm/deny this.

Regards

Hope you get K3b sorted, it is a neat app! Very nero like

Josh
