If you're going to upgrade from DVD then I suggest you make backup copies of 
your relevant configuration files and start clean. Otherwise you will probably 
have a lot of garbage left over from the previous installation. Regarding KDE: 
Before loggiing in to KDE you can then restore your entire .kde directory. If 
things get screwy you can always log out. Delete the .kde directory and 
continue as you always have. Don't forget, you already have a backup of your 
original .kde.
