No. I boot into runlevel 3. When I "$ startx" from the command prompt
from root or any user it brings up Gnome Enlightenment, not KDE.
I reinstalled 6.1, installing the KDE workstation instead, but with the
same results - when I "$ startx" from any user or root Gnome Enlightenment
runs instead of KDE. I *don't* want Gnome, I want KDE. What do I have to
do to get Gnome off this box? And what do I have to do to get KDE to run?
No matter what I've tried I get Gnome.

That file doesn't exist on this system:
Directory: /etc/sysconfig
$ ls
apmd console init network routed
cbq hwconf keyboard network-scripts sendmail
clock i18n mouse pcmcia static-routes
