minimal install of koffice + kde support files

I am trying to get as much useable stuff onto a laptop (using RedHat7) with a small harddrive. When I installed the compilers, etc I am already near a full hard drive.

Problem: I would like to install KOffice (especially for KPresenter), but I don't want all of KDE. I had installed the RedHat7 kdesupport rpm, but KOffice seems to be based on KDE2. I just want the minimum of KDE stuff so that I can use KOffice.

Question: What do I need to install for KOffice to work? Where can I get all this stuff? Could I get by with some form of updated kdesupport and a KOffice install?

Thanks!
 
go to a kde mirror and get the koffice rpm for kde 2.1 and then start to rpm -ivh it. it'll tell you what it needs. work from there. btw - KOffice is still very beta. I would recommend another tool at the moment
 

Right, but when I do that I get a bunch of files, which do not correspond to other RPMs. I need to know what files are in what RPMs. I thought maybe there was an easier way, anyone?
 
rpm -qpl filename.rpm will show you what is in the file. you can then pipe it through grep to find the file you want.

rpm -qpl kdesupport.rpm | grep somefileineed
