I just installed FC9, I was hopping that I could try XFCE as my desktop instead of gnome.
is that possible.
During installation I didn't select "gnome" and i did select XFCE.
After computer finish booting(runlevel 3) I tried telinit 5. I looks like it still try to start gnome.
It shows login box but when I give usr/pwd it start same screen again. Asking for usr/passwd.
So what did I install when I checked on XFCE ? isn't it desktop environment ?
I did the yum -y groupinstall XFCE and I have read in a few places about choosing Xfce instead of Gnome (Sessions at the log in) but I don't see that option anywhere. I have tried this on two systems with no love.
