It should work fine, but I'm not sure anyone has tried it yet.
Update: I just tried it and it's fine. The only dependancies are on X
libraries and glibc 2.1. The download was just 2.1 MB... unless you're on a
really slow link that will be faster and less expensive than the CD. (The
-devel package otoh claims to be 22 MB.)

Try running kdmconfig. It seems there's no config file to hack. I think the
default setup though is with the YDL logo... I'm not sure how a RH one got
in there for you.

Wouldn't we all.

Not really. This is a well-known problem (since most Linuxers get lots of
email). If you go to freshmeat.net you may be able to find something that
suits your needs, but nothing is "good" exactly. Balsa, Spruce, Mahogany,
and a few other names come to mind right now... there are many more, but
most are somewhere near alpha quality. The kmail in KDE2 looks gorgeous
though.
