Description Mikael Carneholm 2003-03-04 14:14:45 UTC 
If you choose to install f.eg. both Gnome and KDE during installation
and afterwards want to uninstall f.eg. KDE, there is no way to do this.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start redhat-config-packages
2. Realise that there is no way to remove f.eg. KDE (if it is
installed)
3. Done

Actual Results:
No checkboxes besides the "KDE Desktop Environment" and "Gnome Desktop
Environment" labels that allows you to check/uncheck a group of packages
(for installation/uninstallation)

Expected Results:
A checkbox besides the "KDE Desktop Environment" and "Gnome Desktop
Environment" labels that allows you to check/uncheck a group of packages
(for installation/uninstallation)

How often does this happen?
Every time.

Additional Information:
This should be possible (can't see why one should not be able to
uninstall one of the desktop environments after installation)?
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2003-04-02 06:04:11 UTC 
This is by design to avoid users who don't know better uninstalling their
desktop environment and breaking their systems.
