Yes. As far as I'm concerned KDE-4 is still in testing. No amount of protestation of its readiness for the real world will persuade me to adopt it wholeheartedly until I'm happy with it. So far, I'm not, and I don't want to pollute my working KDE-3 system with loads of stuff I'll have difficulty removing. > This is purely and only a happy circumstance It's nothing of the sort.

I select the OS I want to run at grub time, the same as anyone else. Nothing I've said in this thread is inconsistent with what you're saying, so let's just leave it at that, shall we? -- Rgds Peter
