All of those methods involve *not* running under KDE during the installation, right? So then the question comes down to: what's the least inhospitable environment for doing the installation if KDE itself is ruled out. The best I would hope for would be one where I can run Emacs under X, since that gives me both a scrollable shell and nice ways of manipulating directories.

Yes, log out from KDE first. But, then you don't need anything fancy to do the installation (i.e. if you are using rpms): cd whererpmsare rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm kdm There you go... a simple console will do it...
