As a longtime KDE user, I have always just -Ued the packages (on various
Mandrakes and Red Hats). However, the difficulty usually lies in satisfying
all the dependencies--if you have everything that's needed, I guess an `rpm
- -Uvh *.rpm` would work, but I always have to do it in steps. Erasing the old
packages usually leads to more dependency problems, in my experience.
