I strongly recommend you keep KDE installed, since uninstalling it might wipe a lot of your KDE applications. But there's no reason why you have to run KDE - many (but not all) KDE apps will work with other window managers. Somebody already suggested WindowMaker, but some others you might want to look at include XFCE, Blackbox, Fluxbox, and FVWM2. There are several ways to install a different WM as your default. Easiest (in my opinion) is to edit the hidden file .xinitrc in your /home/username directory. If the file doesn't exist already, you can create it. There is just one line in mine (I use FVWM2): exec fvwm2 For XFCE, it's just a bit confusing as the command is "exec xfwm". For everything else it's what you'd expect (for Blackbox it's "exec blackbox"). - Robert Storey On Thu, 23 May 2002 09:43:32 +0000 tabanna wrote:

How do I go about removing KDE? (And if it's gone, can I still use applications like KDE Mail, KSirc, and Konqueror?)

Hi

i did not remove anything. for me, WindowMaker works fine, with kmail.

maybe, do a <whereis> or <locate> to find where the executable is, and, then, put the whole path to the executable in menu of your preferred windows manager.

best wishes
