I just downloaded the kde 2.2beta1.tar.bz2 files and did a build
(sorry no rpms, just source build and install from sources.

It works. It Rocks!

Few problems so far.

For the adventurous here's how:

Three bash scripts shown below

#!/bin/sh

        QTDIR=/usr/lib
        export QTDIR

                #bzip2 -d qt-x11-2.2.4.tar.bz2
        cd /usr/src
        tar xzvf /downloads/kde/qt-x11-2.2.4.tar.gz
        cd qt-2.2.4
        export QTDIR=$PWD
        ./configure -sm -gif -system-jpeg -no-opengl
        make
        /sbin/ldconfig

        o install_qt
        o install_kde
        o install (called by install_kde

hint: I've hardcoded /downloads/kde as the directory where I download kde
.tar.bz2 files. you might want to use a different directory. Edit the
script Luke!

disclaimer: your milage may vary. I did this on a Blue G3 rev1
It does not update your rpm database, rpm still thinks you're in kde 2.1.
Someday I'll get into providing rpms. don't hold your breath.

I had to reset kppp to use /dev/ttys0
I got a message about dropping characters that didn't fit the "encoding" when
using kmail.
