I do only have KDE on here.  The bad thing is, I use kdm for my login 
manager.  Even that was broken.  I had no GUI and no way to login to KDE 
or anything else.

I do save binaries but a few of them got deleted.  I guess eclean got a 
little froggy or something.  Some of the larger packages, qt, kdelibs, 
etc, etc, had to rebuild from scratch.   At least I didn't have to have 
OOo rebuilt.  o_O

Looking forward to seeing how your upgrade works out.
