Always helps to do your homework. The install screens could be a lot
clearer that to keep other os on your system you need to select the custom
install; however, the options are all there. Plus a quick search of the
list archives will provide a lot of advice. I don't like the updater
particularly the penchant for doing updates without asking. I prefer kde
too. So you can get the kde install DVD. Since you ahve a working system,
you are beyond that. From a console window, yum will install everything you
desire and kyum will let you select the updates you really would rather not
have.

Found the problem with add/remove software - pirut had been deleted
somehow. After doing a lot searches through the doc and on-line, it
sounded like that might be the problem.
used the yum command line to install as root and that restored the
"add/remove software" app.
Then used pirut to download KDE and a load of apps.
KDE now running. Better.
One problem with KDE - Under gnome the other hard disks are displayed on
the desktop and I can click to mount and browse in the file manager. KDE
doesn't seem to have anything similar. IS there something similar for
mounting and browsing the other hard disks??
