I see upon re-reading my original message that I didn't quite explain what I
meant to. :)  I know how to relocate RPMs (believe me I spent a lot of time
looking at 'man rpm' when I first installed Linux), but I am just trying to
find out if anyone has actually done this and had success, i.e., KDE still
starts properly, apps run, etc.

Sorry for the confusion.

Joel
