While I don't understand, but respect RedHat's alliance with Gnome, I
do wish I had the choice to have a gnome free (as in `rpm -qa | grep
gnome` returns no results). At this point, this is simply not an
available choice. I wish to have little to/nothing to do with Gnome as
they seem intent on embracing Mono (which I understand is their own
choice).

Also, I wish that installing from the DVD would give a cleared choice
between KDE and Gnome, and their respective packages -- removing Gnome
does not remove the preselected optional gnome apps.
