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! [N]F |

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.

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 |
