I can install from the LiveCD with a graphical interface and get KDE and Mate. But I suspect that is because the LiveCD is providing Gnome3. If I use the Minimal install DVD instead then I simply cannot get Mate or KDE to run as desktops without having first installed Gnome3. Neither alternative desktop will work without and both always work with Gnome3 present. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
