The installation was rocking along, and many dependent packages had been 
installed before the error message came on saying that a failure had 
occurred while attempting to install Kdebase, and Kdeartworks.  I really 
cannot tell you the exact wording.  The last part of the message said 
that I should refer to the debug screen for more info.  I was attempting 
to install Kde3 via Sysinstall and packages.
