upgrading or fixing kde

[Shannon McMackin]

As long as you have a current support subscription in place with Red 
Hat, you will have access to the iso images.  You can try an upgrade, 
but those attempts are usually met with inconsistancies that warrant a 
clean install.  That is my experience with all the Fedora releases. 
Even then, you may end with a newer version of KDE to use, but it still 
won't be the latest release.
