I think you need to be more elaborate on what did not work after installing from the rpm. Did you get the splash screen?? Where did you install the rpm from?? Anyway try running the command "startkde" from a "failsafe terminal" and check if there are any errors and report back.
rright - did not answer for some time, for I 've ben a bit busy, but I have solved the problem. Files are OK, I downloaded them all, put in one directory and installed via 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm'.
Everything works fine now, apart from the fact, that right after I installed KMyFirewall (or Firestarter , Guarddog), and saved iptables after changing them to stealth my ports, KDE starts up quite longer than it used to before.
Thanx
