"It's on the Internet, it must be true!" Eek.
So, someone gave you bad advice, you blame the software.. It was YOU, who
said, "...did NOT work; idiot thing said there were no packages named kde*
installed." Sounds to me like you're mad at the software, rather than
the person who gave you the bad advice.
So, rather than playing the part of the poor helpless user, why not show
some initiative and read the man page for rpm? That tells you everything
you need to know.
This is the problem with America today. People are too busy trying to find
someone or something to blame for their problem, rather than either taking
responsibility for causing the problem, or in this case, just expending the
tiniest bit of effort to find the solution. Don't believe that statement?
Another case in point - the half-wits in Florida that can't trace an arrow
one-half of an inch to a hole, and punch out the hole.
