Description coolcsh 2002-08-24 17:18:52 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
Defaulting to KDE as the preferred desktop should not require having to manually
configure packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run install
2.Have to select manual package installation to configure KDE

	

Expected Results:  KDE is a very popular desktop and in my opinion easier to use
then Gnome. I would like it to be simpler to default to KDE for an install

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-08-26 01:13:25 EDT

KDE is a choice in the installer components.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2002-08-27 14:59:47 EDT

Our default desktop selection is GNOME.  The desktop shell is just that, a
shell, and confronting users with a choice between them when they're new users
is just confusing.  You can easily select to customize your selections and turn
on KDE to get KDE installed.
