Nope since I'd removed everything via urpme rpm -e and then using rm -Rf I removed anything and everything left behind. Then I did urpmi kdebase-kdm (which is what I actually want running) and said yes to everything it wanted to install > > if so you may need to find a dependency. > > Or try XFdrake. > it may reset something that was broken in the configs with the upgrade. Like I said X worked well, so did gdm for that matter. There really are only 3 things I want out of kde Konqueror, kdm and kate. So I tried an experiment. Since installing from the cooker wasn't working (I'm running cooker on this box.) I backed off to the rc1 disk version (the last one that worked that I can still get ) and poof ... everything worked. When and if they get the hdlist.cz matching the actual files in cooker I'll let the upgrade run again and see what happens. More and More it seems to be related to the latest qt3. I filed the bug report but was told they couldn't duplicate my problem. James > > > > On Fri, 2003-02-28 at 22:34, James Sparenberg wrote: > > All, > > > > I've suddenly lost kde....
