What's the best way to do this? Remove the yum group gnome (does this set default init to 3?), install the yum group KDE and then set default init to 5 again (as I assume installing KDE not during the setup will not automatically set the system to start the gui?).

Wait for an expert answer, before you do this, because there may be a better way. If I were going to do this, I would install KDE first, and then remove Gnome. Possibly there is a better way to do it? (I have both Gnome and KDE installed)

unless there's a space issue on the machine you're talking about why not install the KDE group, run switchdesk in a terminal, set your default desktop to KDE and not even worry about removing Gnome. There are some dependency issues you'll run into when you attempt to remove Gnome.

Thanks, I wasn't aware about switchdesk. Using that worked fine.

And weird ones, to that. If I try to remove Gnome Desktop Environment this results in a second dependency check that then wants to remove many libraries that KDE relies on and then to remove KDE as well. So, if one wants to get *really* rid of Gnome one should indeed first uninstall Gnome.
