Step by step tutorial for installing KDE and removing Gnome:

Open up Terminal .
Log in as root via
```
su
```

Enter

yum install @kde-desktop system-switch-displaymanager kdm

This will install the required packages.

Now enter
```
system-switch-displaymanager kdm
```

This will make the system use KDM as the default Display Manager

Reboot your machine.
Choose KDE as session and Log In.
If you plan to remove GNOME, continue; otherwise you're done now.
Remove Gnome using
```
yum remove @gnome-desktop
```
.

NOTE
Watch out that this removes most Gnome/GTK programs from the system, including Firefox. You will have to reinstall the removed programs once the process is complete.

You can now use KDE as the default Desktop Environment.
