I suppose that my comments were somewhat immature (I haven't gone
through all setup menus), but I was not expecting to have to choose
between KDE and GNOME at the installation level. The 6.0 gnome desktop
had an option menu which allowed users to select the desktop at run time.

I chose the gnome setup when I first installed RH 6.1 and this menu is
no longer available.
