I had a problem reading the CD during install, which caused no end of 
grief and required some manual fixups. However, I think I've replaced all 
the incomplete packages....

TinyX and fluxbox is looking better and better. :)
I have a KDE session up and running, if you want to call this slow crawl 
running. It took about 4 -5 minutes to load on my PII-100 w/ 40M of RAM.
(Fluxbox loads up in a matter of seconds.)

It would appear that the package lists for KDE and Gnome could use some 
work. I'll get them fixed as soon as I can. In the meantime, I've 
manually installed:

XFree86-tools-4.2.0-72 
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.2.0-72
cups-libs-1.1.15-10 
gconf-editor-0.3-1
metacity-2.4.0.92-5 
redhat-artwork-0.47-3 
GConf2-1.2.1-3  
ORBit2-2.4.1-1  
linc-0.5.2-2 
gnome-mime-data-2.0.0-9 
desktop-file-utils-0.3-3 
desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-10
gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-22 
libart_lgpl-2.3.10-1    
gtk+-1.2.10-22 
htmlview-2.0.0-6  
redhat-menus-0.26-1
