</div>Did you use a live images? If you did, it doesn't allow selection of<br>
packages during installation. The non-live images do allow you select<br>
KDE in the custom package selection screen.<br></blockquote><div><br>I used 'Fedora-14-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso'<br></div></div><br>I have to assume, that since it found something wrong/incompatible with the<br>VNC server provided by way of QEMU/VM, that it decided to fall back to text<br>
mode install, and only provide the minimal installation set. ;-|<br><br>But then again yum fails to work too, but thats because it seems the network<br>didn't get configured either under QEMU either. Its too bad. Older versions<br>
