The only thing that worked for me was to remove all the ximian rpms, using a KDE Konsole. Presulably a regualr console would work as well. What I did was rpm -qa | grep ximian | lpr, then rpm -e --force foo.rpm-ximian through the whole list. This will leave your machine unusable as a gnome machine. You will then have to do an upgrade, presumably from the cds/boot floppy you have on hand. After doing this, you'd be free to go back to the ximian site and do a reinstall. That should work. -- John P.
