Thanks, but one issue is that my dial-up connection at home is 26400 due to
crappy phone lines, so I'm downloading all the KDE, QT, XFree86 packages to
take back with me. That leaves my question being whether or not I can use
swaret to point to my cdrom drive or a disk partition rather than the web-
based locations by editing a config file or something. I'm getting the QT
3.3.1 which KDE 3.2.2 seems to be compiled with so maybe that will help
too, and I'll do the Xfree86 upgraded as well, as long as it won't affect
GNOME and other desktops in a negative way.
