Lost Terminal after preupdate

Alright here is what this newb has managed to do:

I installed Fedora 8.

downloaded and ran preupdate.

Everything looked smooth and cool. Except for one annoying little thing.

I have no terminal anywhere that I can find. Log-in as root no terminal, log-in as user no terminal. Zip nada nothing.

Somebody help please. I love KDE 4 and this new upgrade but I need my terminal.

Rules
The following rules must be obeyed, they are for the good of all the members of the forum. Repeated breach of these rules will result in a user being banned from the forum.

1. Respect the Forum Staff
We provide a service in our free time to keep the forum running efficiently; we are not here to make life harder for anyone. Any decision taken by the Administrators and Community Managers is final and will be respected.
2. Do Not be Abusive
Abuse doesn't get anywhere. It generates bad feeling and is very likely to get you suspended from the forum. We're here to help each other not fight.
3. Use Informative Titles
Instead of using a title like "Heellllppp!!!?!!!" or "ARGH Fedora Crashes AGAIN!!!!!", use a title that is specific. Such as "Mouse Glitch/HD Hit Once Per Second" or "Removing Redhat Network Notifcation Tool". A clear title will attract more views to your thread, as it gives a clear indication of the content of the post in a mature manner. Experienced users usually have little time for immature complaints. Ultimately this will allow you to get more help of a better quality.

Failure to comply will normally result in your thread being ignored by many, with a staff member having to take time to rename your thread.
4. Do Not Cross-Post
Posting your thread in several parts of the forum is immature. Just because it's in more than one location doesn't mean that more people are going to answer it. In fact quite the opposite normally as experienced members have little time for this sort of behaviour, staff members will close all offending threads.Posts or threads advertising other posts are also seen as cross-posting.
5. Do Not Advertise
We are not a space to advertise your product, and you are not permitted to do so without the express consent of Ewdison Then.

6. Do not post images containing nudity, violence or otherwise offending content.
This is a friendly support forum and we do not want to cause offence.
7. Do not breach copyright
This is to prevent the forum from being sued. So please make sure you have permission before posting that super cool wallpaper you found to the gallery.

I guess if you keep digging you will eventually pop out in China.

My problem has solved itself with the update from yesterday. Not sure how, but I now have Terminal, QuadKonsole, and Terminal Program all under my system menu.

Wish I knew what happened, but I had been trying to get one or any of these up, but the update did it last night.

Glad you got the problem fixed! I am running the Gnome version on one of my systems, things are looking good so far! It takes time to get things, just right!
