Trying to switch from Gnome to KDE4. So I installed in terminal with --- yum groupinstall KDE
but now im trying to edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file so it can load KDE by default.

but seems I am missing that file, what should I do?

At the login screen go to Sessions and select KDE. You should then be asked if you want to make it your default.
Alternatively on the settings menu (or similar) there should be an option for Login Window where the default session can be set.

Sorry I can't give you more precise instructions as I am on my laptop which still runs F8. My Desktop (with F9) is out of action.
