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
Hello Arturo,
I certainly agree with you. It would be nice if the developers at Fedora
Core could pay more attention to KDE within the distribution, especially at
startup. I have used KDE since I started using Linux and wouldn't use
anything else.
