That is another sore point. I distinctly told it I wanted kde on the
first attempt. I got gnome... One screen, no switchable workspaces.
This is NOT windows folks, let it do what we tell it to do!
The next install attempt never gave me a choice. Thats a gnome or hit the
road jack IMO.
There has not been a third attempt until such time as I can be assured it
will just do what I want it to do. Or I get over this funkity mood I am
in from the first 2 failures.
