Well I followed your advice but really did not expect it to work as all I had 
was utils , doctools and xc. Did a make/checkinstall on utils it failed. Did 
the same to doctools, made an rpm. Then I went and tried xc; now I thought I 
must backup first and then go to runlevel3 and then call the 
make/checkinstall, this was about an 20 mins ago.
This is where I remark on my memory; I was so engrossed in what I was doing 
that I forgot all of that and all of a sudden I remmbered hell I am in kde2.2 
as a user and doing acheckinstall, sh**! Couldn't do anything about it so it 
made an rpm I closed down and rebooted, bingo I am in 4.2, how lucky can you 
be, I was expecting it to freeze or not boot. It worked though.
