removing gnome and installa kde in etch
Hi, i´m really newbie in Etch, so last night I installed it but by default Gnome is my desktop, can i have the option to choose between gnome and kde for example? is there a kind of switchdesk?
To uninstall gnome do i have to log in console mode? is there a way to init the session in a console mode and the use startx? Thanks for all |

remove gdm, xdm, kdm aptitude purge ... for one occasion, customize runlevel 3 to remove gdm xdm kdm: cd /etc/rc3.d/ rm *gdm* *kdm* *xdm* and then at grub, append 3 at the end of line and press b to boot You will arrive in runlevel 3 Runlevel 2 is the default, you shouldn't play with it. edit: actually the clean way would be to use update-rc.d but I don't really know how to use it and I never understand really how to do what I want with it |
you can install KDE instead of Gnome by default, purportedly. I will try this when I next do a fresh install, but I'm hoping that won't be for a while.

I am not suggesting anyone reinstall Debian instead of just using Apt to get rid of Gnome mind, but if you want KDE and are about to install Debian, that's the way. Actually, that's the way for a netinstall - there are now alternate, non-Gnome CD-1's in the weekly and daily ISO builds for Etch, debian-testing-i386-kde-CD-1.iso and debian-testing-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso (obviously they are named slightly differently for other arches). So if you want KDE or Xfce by default, grab those. |
