Thank you for the response.  I guess this is to be

If you can live with some missing configuration
screens, then just copy your 
home directory to a backup, install FC4 FCom scratch
and then copy your home 
back.

You will have some fun if you want to get your
system multimedia ready.  I am 
partparticullaryd of amaramaroKd to get that
compiled I needed a complete 
day.  First of all GCC4GCC blacklisted by kde kdeI
needed to get my hand on a 
GCC3GCChich is easier said then done (try
    
openopenpkg
  
then you'll have some 
heavy fun downloading and compiling dependency after
dependency after 
dependency.  But in the end it's wortworthwilehave a
station that can handle 
any multimedia file you throw at it (except for
encoded).

If you do go that way, and have more then one
station available, I suggest you 
checkout distdistcct enables you to do make -j 10
and have the other stations 
in your network do part of the compile work.  So
that your system is less 
loaded and the compile faster done.


With kind regards

Yes, you can save you home dir direwhere and then
copy it back, but DO NOT copy back the ~/.kde
kdeirectory.  Let KDE KDEate it new.  Don't know
how gnome would react.
