What is the trick to doing a clean install and having kde 3.5 as my desktop with NO gnome?
Thanks Mark
Answer: UNKNOWN
I installed 11.1 carefully selecting kde 3.5 and logged on for the first time and I was starring at the kde4 desktop. Others have reported similar to your experience.
After my experience, I can't remember if I just selected kde3 from the kdm menu or changed the startx script from /usr/bin/startkde to /opt/kde3/bin/startkde
I think you can simple use yast to remove gdm and install kdm if it isn't installed already. Then, someone else will have to chime in on where the setting is in /etc/sysconfig or /etc/X11
From what I have experienced doing a few 11.1 installs, there is a good bit of KDE4 included in even the minimum KDE3 install. I have found that the failsafe desktop looks more like KDE4 than it does KDE3, and a kdesu konqueror produces the DKE4 Konqueor not the KDE3 Konqueror.
