When I log out and back in I don't see an option for kde. It only shows gnome. What
else must I install to test KDE4 on fc9? I need access to smb via smb4k. Also the
graphical gnorpm tool isn't working: Yum cache was invalid and has been rebuilt is
all that it says.

If you click on the user name or enter one, you would see the session
that you can use to select GNOME or KDE. Yum cache bug in
gpk-application is already reported in bugzilla and is being looked at.
You can go to menu and refresh the software list to workaround it.

This is what I am saying. I installed from a dvd iso and the default window manager was
gnome.
I have done yum install kdebase and so those packages are there.
If they are the right ones I'm not sure. What must I do to make sure that KDE is
available to
select in the dropdown box on the user login screen?
It does not appear as an option for me after I select my user.
My only option is gnome so far...

Merely installing kdebase won't be enough
# yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
Then try again.

kdebase isn't enough, you need *at least* kdebase-workspace, or better yet,
yum groupinstall kde-desktop

That was what I needed. I'm grabbing the packages now. Will post again from a KDE
Session no doubt.

Closed. Thanks for the right commands, I'm looking at a KDE 4 session that is so far
very stable.
