Hello SL Users list.
I really enjoy using kstars, but haven't had the time to figure out the best
way to build the latest from source yet. Instead, for now, I simply
downloaded the rpm from the latest version of Scientific Linux 5. 
Then I just used yum localinstall to install it, and it works fine, having
pulled in a number of KDE rpm's from SL 6. (Most of these are KDE 4 rpms's,
but I'm assuming it works because kde3 libs are also included in KDE for SL
6.) Does anyone know if there are any problems or security issues with doing
this (mixing this SL5 rpm into SL6)?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Barry
