{sigh of relief} was Re: L-15.5 1st impression

Sorry if this is a bit unthreaded, I've since deleted the earlier messages in this thread. I was being launched into GNOME, which I figured was a totally unacceptable direction for KDE to take. KDE as well as XFCE were also installed and I had selected a KDE desktop but went direct into GNOME regardless and there was NO desktop selection with the log-in. So, reinstalled the beta but this time without GNOME (just in case) and with a boot to init 3 only. Everything is cool, I will stay with an init 3 boot from now on.
