Well, I've done full gnome only and fvwm only installs without KDE using 10.1, so it's obviously not impossible (and then promptly used the clean system for a kde3.3 install). It's probably something shared between gnome & kde like mandrake-mime-types that is screwing things up. Try rebuilding the rpm database, then delete one kde module (but several rpms) at a time, i.e. remove kdeartworks, then kdeaddons, then kdepim, then kdeutils, etc... Leave stuff kdelibs, kdebase, etc until the very last. You may have to leave some libs packages lying around, but surely even you can't begrudge a few Mb :-) John. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forget that new hard drive, save some lives instead, donate to the Red Cross: USA: https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp UK: https://www.donate.bt.com/bt_form_dec.htm Oz: https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineTsunamiDonations.asp NZ: https://www.banqonit.com/proxypage.aspx?boiid=205
