Hello,
In fact, if you are trying to obtain the KDE desktop upon bootup instead
of getting the Bluecurve desktop by default, all you need to do is go
to /etc/sysconfig/desktop and where it says "Gnome" , change it to
"KDE".
You need root priviledges, though.

Honestly I wasn't tring to make this into an issue, cause I got it to
work with a little help from LQ.org.....but Ithe point I was tring to
brign forward is, maybe Fedora could pay a little more attention to KDE
users. I could be wrong here becuase this happened since the beginning
of FC2, but I did everything the tutorial I was flowing stated, to no
avail. A little radiobutton in Anaconda to select primary desktop would
be much apperiated.
Peace
