Yep it killed it.

I have lost the desktop, KDE is not on the machine.

After booting all I get is a prompt.
looks like a burn down and reload.

If I can make a sugestion.

Provide a well documented solution on how to uninstall the desktop for those of us
who prefer KDE and dont have the hard drive space to keep XD2 on the machine.

Also,
I had followed the instructions on getting evolution to be the default email program yet
when I click a link nothing happened.

Any Ideas?
