if you install both of them and would like to select between Gnome or KDE you'll need to do this in Session menu of your Login manager(it's graphical screen which appear after boot process is over). If I'm wrong and you don't know how to select what you wish to install, let us know.

Use the space bar to select or deselect. Remember DOS?
