Thank you.
The reason is because those KDE2 rpms were built with XF4 (which you can find
in the same place).
Here are your options:
1. install XF4. can be annoying, and may not work well depending on your
video card.
2. don't install kdemultimedia. easy, but you'll be missing the KDE mp3
player, audio mixer, etc (there are non-KDE equivalents which you probably
already have installed).
As to the understanding part, I really recommend finding a good book on Red
Hat Linux and reading it. I've heard great things about O'Reilly's _Running
Linux_.
