First thanks! I installed it with the "usual" problems of KDE 3.2 on 
RedHat :-) Looks and works great!

But a little gotcha: My goal was to keep WBEL as clean as possible from other 
software, while being able to use KDE 3.2. So I tried to just add your KDE 
repository to the official WBEL one.

Of course, this didn't work out because KDE 3.2 needs a few newer multimedia 
type packages (jasper, libmal, trm, fribidi, etc.) These are neither in the 
KDE nor the WBEL repositories. So I had to add (temporarily) several other 
Fedora Repositories to fetch all required software. But then of course I 
couldn't run a simple upgrade anymore, because it would also have upgraded 
several packages that I wanted to keep at the WBEL release.

Would it make sense to add just those required packages to the kde-redhat for 
RH/WBEL3 repository?

CU, Joe
