Remove KDE
after i install fedora core in XWindows and KDE...i plan to remove the KDE and make the system autodetect the Xwindows only...how to do that?
have you tried to use the package manager that comes with fedora to remove the package?
It's easy to remove the KDE packages:
rpm -qa
Lists all the packages installed. Remove the KDE packages as required:
rpm -e packagename
As for ensuring that the correct package starts up, you need to edit this file:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
And remove the KDE command and replace it with the twm window manager, or whatever windowmanager you wish to use. If the user already exists, then you will find that they have a similarly configured .xinitrc in their home directory which will need editing.

no other way?
rpm -e `rpm -qa |grep kde`
rpm -e rpmfile --force will forcibly remove the package even though it has dependencies
rpm -e rpmfile --nodeps
