It is unnecessary to remove KDE4 to install openbox, or any other windows manager, so long as you can get into the existing system. I currently have KDE4 and LXDE installed on several systems.
On the login screen (where you enter your userid and password), there is a button that lets the user select which windows manager to use for this session.
I like having multiple windows managers; I have had times where one is not starting up correctly, and by logging in with a different one, I can recover my data and sometimes correct the problem with the malfunctioning windows manager.

thanks I'll try that. Actually, I think I corrupted Firefox. Can't get on the "net" the other parts seem to be working. Think I updated and just didn't do it right. I am still learning.
