When I install Fedora 8, it allows you to "Customize" your system. Then you get a screen that lets you select or un-select software. Among the things you can choose are "Desktops."

I uncheck "Gnome" and check the box that selects "KDE." But Gnome always gets installed. This wouldn't be such a big problem since you can use "Add or Remove Software" to change desktops. But whenever I do it this way, it breaks my sound system. None of the music players work and I can't use my CD/DVD drives.

Everything works in Gnome.

I think it would be alright if KDE got installed during installation. Can somebody please tell how to make this happen?

Thank you,

royeo
