Mandrive discovery 2006 up and running, however I prefer gnome over kde. I updated the software and installed the gnome desktop off of the cd as it was not done by default on the installation. I logged off and then tried to change my desktop but gnome was not listed as one of my options. How can I correct this please? I really want to make the jump to linux full time but they make it so darn difficult!!!
i dont know if it comes with gnome by defualt or not (never used mandriva).. run 'xwmconfig' at a terminal and see if u can select gnome from it. if not, then u most likely dont have it installed.
