[ydl-gen] is there anyway to install kde 3.4.x ?

[Derick Centeno]

Dear Albert:
Usually yum is used for updates, installs and so on.  If you want to
find whether the latest kde is available to yum you could do the
following:
[root at arakus aguila]# yum search kde*

If you don't see the most current kde available to yum then you could
rewrite yum.conf to search for headers which may be more current or if
your yum.conf already points to freshrpms, then a listing like above
will inform you that the latest version of kde is not available via yum.

The other recourse you have at this point is downloading and compiling
kde's source, dependent files and so on.
