Perhaps I should be more clear. I am using konstruct to download and build the KDE3.2 sources. This installs everything relative to $HOME/kde3.2 by default. I wish to rebuild the entire package and replace my existing KDE3.1.5 which is entireley rpm-based and install everything relative to /usr. I also want to remove the existing KDE and need a comprehensive howto. I am not able to do a 'rpm -Uvh *' in this case so I need to fully understand which rpm's exactly to remove. Is this documented anywhere?
