Subject: Sucess, Sort Of, Still Need Help Installing Some Stuff....

Finally, after 5 long days I finally got Linux installed on the system I have...and it's my first time installing any OS on any computer in my life!
Anyways.... I was wondering if I could get help in getting and installing the latest versions of XFree86 4.0.* & KDE 2.*; the only problem being it has to be from source -- which I don't know how to do -- because the Linux I have doesn't really recognize more modern RPMs.

I sort of put my foot in my mouth here, as I do not need to do it from source; I actually need the Caldera-based RPMs to install the new X, KDE, and the other stuff that makes them run. And to the people who keep telling me to download ISOs, I do NOT have a 'Net connection, I do NOT have a CD burner...I cannot afford a 'Net connection -- if I could I'd have bought a computer that is up-to-date, say, a 2001 model -- so if anyone has a burner can you download the things I need and burn them and I will pay them for the CD.

P.S. And, I will NOT pay an arm and a leg for it.
