At least in the Alpha-1 release of Intrepid Dolphin is forced onto
people. If you attempt to uninstall it, it will also uninstall
Konqueror. So, it is either both, or nothing at all.

This is too bad as I did not mind quickly uninstalling Dolphin in 8.04
to make Konqueror my choice of file browser. Now, I can not do that and
I am forced to change all my file associations and have Dolphin sit
there as a waste of hard drive space. This almost feels like windows
where I am forced to keep all the MS crap software.

My understand is that KDE 4 Konqueror, when used as a file manager uses
dolphin.part to do that. I have no idea whether dolphin within konqueror is
as crippled as dolphin as a standalone.

Indeed, Konqueror as a file browser uses Dolphin's file management part.

For the record, to make Konqueror your default file manager you just need to change 2 file associations. If you're in a hurry you could change only the inode/directory one.

Have a nice day!

Thank you, I have already done that in my Intrepid test system.
