Hi, All - I have tried to install kde2 alpha 0205 and 0213 binary without success. The installation process (using gnom\rpm or rpm -i command) went fine. But when I try to start kde2, mandrak 7 always defaults back to kde 1.12. My mandrake installation using auto start X so i boot into the default KDE XDM. from the boot menu I can choose different window managers. My questions are : Do I have to un-install kde 1.12 ? What are the files (.Xdefault ? .xinit ? ) mandrake use to define the window manager selections Where are these files located (root ? user home ? etc ? X11 ?) My throughts are to find the configuration files so I can edit them and replace the startkde script from kde1.1.2 to kde2. Thus I may be able to select the kde window manager from the login manager screen and boot into kde2. Or, is there a way to manualy start kde2 ? if so how do I remove the Xwindow auto start and start kde2 manually. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, if anyone can tell me hwen are the man pages or documents regarding login manager configuration, XDM, or Xstartup would aslo be very kind. Thanks in advance.
