Installing KDE On FC5 w/ Gnome

nightfox
hey guys!
I'd like to install KDE on my FC5 system which currently just has GNOME. I guess all I'd have to do is open a terminal, su -, yum install kde & it should download & install then logout & log back in using KDE?

Thanks!

not that fast, you also should configure your XDM to point to KDE too, but I forogt how as I haven't used FC since version 3.

Yeah, I'd figure there would be some other configuration involved...

i would expect the rpm's post install cionfig script to add the desktop to kdm / gdm / whatever login manager you are using.

Actually to install KDE, you'll do:

CODE
su -c "yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)'"


That should find all the required files to install the KDE environment and download it from the internet. Or you could do it from the CD unless you want the latest KDE.

Cheers,

MC

  12. KDE Or Gnome. Which Is The Desktop Of Your Choice
    and why ? (screenies welcome ) (71)
    Ever since i started using linux, ive been a KDE user. Every now and again, maybe 4 times in total,
    ive tried Gnome. I dont know why, but i just keep getting drawn towards it, only to then gt scared
    off, and go back to the familiar KDE interface. Only this time, ive moved over to Gnome, and i love
    it ! gnome 2.8 didnt quite work for me, but 2.10 (and the up comming 2.12) have me hooked. Ive even
    started un-installing most of my KDE components. I think in the end, it wasnt that i prefere Gnome
    to KDE, but rather, i prefere GTK to QT. KDE just seems so clutttered, and....
