Ask Slashdot:Trouble After KDE Install

Patrick Allen writes "I dloaded all of the RPM's from KDE.org, and used glint to install all of the packages. I then made the suggested changes to my configuration files (listed below). When I tried to start KDE, my system was dead. I could not even ls -a to get a file listing. Fortunately, I made copies of my config files, and restored them. Now I am back to where I started. I would like to try KDE, but I am not sure where I went wrong." (as always, if you have questions, send them to Cliff)
