I followed all your instructions to the letter, but still no luck. I get this error message: bash: usekde: command not found There is a script called "startkde" that gets installed along with everything else in the KDE packages, and according to the info on the KDE site, "startkde" should do just that (the KDE site says to put this into my Xclients or xinitrc file). But typing "startkde" gets me the same error message I mentioned above. Could I be typing "usekde" from the wrong location? Perhaps I'm not understanding the "home directory" part of your instructions. When I log in as root, is /root my home directory? i.e. the initial directory I'm dumped into after logging in as any user. This is my 3rd attempt at learning Linux - the first attempt I tried LinuxPPC release 4, which booted directly into KDE, so I didn't get around to figuring this stuff out. (I gave up on LinuxPPC because at that time they still didn't have all the kinks worked out of dual-booting, and I was trying to have both Linux and Mac OS on separate drives on the same machine.) My second attempt was RedHat 5.0/Intel, which was included free with the "Sam's Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours" book, and didn't have KDE available on the CD. > And yes, someone needs to update, clarify the installation > instructions.
