okay,

installed Xfree86-4.3-8.4.91mdk.i586.rpm (this is just part of the XFree 
system yes).

the server installed was XFree86-server-4.3-5mdk.i586.rpm).

the other parts of the Xfree86 system where not affected.

I got a message to say that mozilla and Galeon were going to removed as there 
where dependancy issues (or something like that, it didn�t bother me).

Then i shutdown the PC, next ime i started the PC up again with linux instead 
of geting KDE i was dropped to the console.

after trying to start Xwindows manually (startx) I got the error 
 execve (errorno 2).

after sometime of plowing through the man pages of various utilites and apps 
(which i have mentioned before) I checked in my HOME directory for the .X.... 
Files and they were all present. after using rpm to try and find 
xfree86-server-4.3-.mdk.i586.rpm that  I realised that the X server wasn�t 
installed (message return was package not installed - giveing me the package 
name also).

This is what i�m interested in to have someone explain to me why it would have 
been uninstalled in the first place.
