I have just installed a beta of Mageia 6. In the description online it says that KDE 4.14 can be installed - https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Release_Notes#KDE in the traditional manner but I can't see how I might select it and I don't like Plasma.
I selected KDE out of the three choices - KDE, Gnome or XFCE - when I installed Mageia and I fully expected to see the usual KDE desktop. But I don't.
What do I have to do to make it work please?
It seems that KDE4.14 stopped being supported in August 2015 and so it looks as though I'm going to have give up on hopes of replacing Plasma with the old style of desktop.
Perhaps I need to start looking elsewhere for a desktop that I like.
