Huh? What happened?
My interpretation is he upgraded in situ and skipped a few releases in the process. This is really not a good idea, btw, IMPE* and IMHO.
No. I did not "upgrade". I tried that first; the installer complained a lot about incompatabilities. So I went back and did a new install. It reformatted the partition that I selected for the installation, it kept the existing swap, it ignored the other drive for my Fedora 10, I even unplugged the IDE drive so that the thing would not try to put the MBR on the Windows drive. 13.1 boots fine, and the start-up appearance of KDE looks acceptable. But there are MANY things about KDE that are totally broken. Other on the list have suggested looking at logs, switching to KDE3, and so forth. But that should not be required. That should be the entire objective of linux, to provide an alternative to Windows. When it then requires a lot of tweaking, the entire justification for moving to linux goes out the window. As was mentioned, I'm going to load a different image. I can see no other excuse for this behavior other than a broken KDE. But what would some total newbie do? Maybe linux is no longer for newbies.
