OK. But I don't know where to find any of the needed RPMs.

I was told not to install this file since it allegedly is broken. I have
removed it from the directory.

OK, found it. Someone told me that the *-devel-* RPMs are only needed if
you're going to compile packages for KDE. I'm not sure what that means,
precisely, but I'm not going to do it so I moved those RPMs out of the
directory. So I don't need this file anymore either.

This one I still need but I don't have it. It may be provided by FC1, but
there are 3 CDs to search and that's taking me a long time... Any more hints
on where I can find it and how I can get it installed? I'm searching through
the add / remove applications tool but can't find any reference to it.

Ah! Thank you! That's a clear explanation that I can understand to reconcile
the online info with what I'm experiencing.

Perfect. When the online instructions failed, that's what I attempted, but QT
wouldn't install (circular dependencies). Trying to do all packages in a
batch might work.
