NO NEED TO REFLASH Recover what? if you are not successful installing KDE the first time, it will leave a broken package in application manager, which can not be uninstalled. But if you figure out why the install is failing it will be successful, then it can be uninstalled. So I guess I need a disclaimer, once you start your commited to keep going, you must get the install to be successful in order to remove it. But if its successful why would you want to remove it. anyway sorry for confusion. PM, me how I can instant message you or talk on IRC and I will contact you and give you a hand. pb
