Today I (minimal) installed F13, upgraded that to F14, then upgraded that to Rawhide, all because I could find no way to start a Rawhide install, and F14 can't count available memory (says not enough for graphical install, even though the 384M minimum is exceeded by 1/3), and text install cannot be directed to install to the available target.
After the update to Rawhide I yum installed basic Xorg and KDE packages, as I could find no groupinstall selections that would install only basic KDM/KDE and notunwanted/unneeded Gnome/GTK/extras stuff.
Startx works, but runlevel 5 does not start KDM. systemctl shows prefdm.service as in subject. I find no prefdm.service file anywhere in /etc. What should have set KDM to start? How do I fix/configure KDM to work?

Create /etc/sysconfig/desktop with the line: KDE
See /etc/X11/prefdm for more information.

I had found prefdm and went looking for what needed to be put in desktop, but without success, and then forgot where I found the pointer to desktop. Now it works! Tankyouvellymuch! :-)
