In the older versions of RH there was an option to switch the default desktop manager and it would save that particular preference by user. I just, as of yesterday, brought up FC3 coming from rH7.3 with KDE as the choice manager (and no Gnome). Currently, the system is pointed to another rudimentary manager as default. Any way to change this through a conf. file anf if so which one?.....better yet if there's a place to point and click to
Aside: I have a combo CD/CDburner/DVD. I remember that when I installed rh7.3 there were some overlap device issues that I corrected by symbolically linking the DVD device to the CDrom. Would this be the same in FC3?
Thanks
BTW - Coming from 7.3 I see alot of nice changes to the system. Kudos to the team

It is still the same: switchdesk kde

Don't know but now these are found in /media as opposed to /mnt.

It's controlled via /etc/sysconfig/desktop
To make KDE the default desktop environment, set DESKTOP=KDE
To use KDE's kdm loginmanager, instead of gdm, set DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
Then either drop to runlevel 3 and back to 5 or reboot (simply restarting X isn't enough).
