Assuming you don't want to uninstall, but just to stop using, the following are my directions. Read the documentation for both gnome and kde is the approach. Go into the kde desktop and search through the Help documentation for how to stop using kde. I believe the command is something like "kde off" or kde -off" or something like this, but haven't used it yet and therefore don't remember the documentation accurately. To your gnome is probably used on top of Enlightenment. If this is the case, then when in this environment, look through the desktop menus for a source of documentation, or a switch or option to close the gnome portion. If this doesn't help, then search the gnome and kde documentation directories under or in the /usr/doc directory. If you want to uninstall gnome and or kde, then you should read the documentation on these, first. To uninstall kde safely, you may need to turn it off, first. You may not need to do anything like that to uninstall gnome, though. However, if disk space isn't an issue, then I'ld suggest leaving gnome and kde installed, at least long enough to explore Enlightenment. mike
