It's in main, too, not even contrib. AAMOF, it was installed as a 
taskbar icon by default last time I selected it during install, not 
sure why.

You don't need to hunt for dependencies. Copy the RPMs from your CDs 
into one place on your hard disk, and do this with URPMI:

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia cdset file://path/to/rpms
urpmi.addmedia main ftp://server.name/path/to/main
urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://server.name/path/to/contrib
urpmi.addmedia --update ftp://server.name/path/to/updates

Now when you type "urpmi kdevelop", URPMI will search first the CD set, 
then the network repository for kdevelop and any dependencies.

Here in Oz, my exact commands to do the above (I didn't bother with 
copying the CD RPMs 'coz I've got broadband and the repository is free 
traffic for me) look like this, yours will be different:

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia main \
 http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/main
urpmi.addmedia contrib \
 http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/contrib
urpmi.addmedia --update \
 http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.1/RPMS

You can use this tool to easily make the urpmi command lines for many 
servers:

I usually cherry-pick a couple of RPMs from the PLF collection as well, 
being the simplest way to add a bunch of common multimedia codecs to my 
system.
