Not necessary. As Jayant Kumar has written, use `switchdesk kde' or
`switchdek anotherlevel' in the shell prompt, before `startx'. Things will
be set right. Perhaps, you have asked for a default Gnome installation and
hence KDE and ANOTHERLEVEL have not been installed? If that is the case,
just mount your cd and goto /RedHat/RPMS and install all the KDE related
files (that start with kde..) and those of Anotherlevel
