newbie needing big help

[Jonathan Metts]

I am a fresh linux newbie, having installed my first linux system about
a week ago...YDL 2.2.
I am running a G4 533DP with 1.5 GB of RAM.  It has the GeForce 2 video
card and cd/rw drive.  Now, when I say I am a newbie, I mean it by the
true "new" sense.  Macintosh help...I'm your man...Linux....HELP ME!

Anyway, my problems are many right now, but I am going to focus on one
at the time...KDE 3.0.  Now, I am just learning the basics right now,
and am making some progress, but the whole dependencies issue, I don't
understand quite yet.  I am currently trying to upgrade KDE to v. 3.0. 
I have heard it is much faster than the version that came with YDL 2.2,
and would like to give it a try, but I can't install it with the
instructions in the README file.  Here is what happens:

[root@linni RPMS]# rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde` koffice SDL-devel
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
	libDCOP.so.1   is needed by kio-mac-1.0-1a
	libkdecore.so.3   is needed by kio-mac-1.0-1a
	libkdesu.so.1   is needed by kio-mac-1.0-1a
	libkdeui.so.3   is needed by kio-mac-1.0-1a
	libkio.so.3   is needed by kio-mac-1.0-1a
	libkssl.so.2   is needed by kio-mac-1.0-1a
	kdemultimedia   is needed by autorun-2.61-5
	kdebase   is needed by autorun-2.61-5
[root@linni RPMS]#

OK, I am a pretty smart guy, but when you are new at something,
everything makes you feel and look stupid.  Now, I don't know if this is
th command to use to get rid of all the old or not, its just what i took
from the readme.  Should i force it with the "nodeps" option, and if so,
what command do I use to install the new kde.  I am a fast learner, but
for right now, I need baby steps.  Much appreciation for the help...I
may have to ask for more....I will have to ask for more.
