How do I change from Gnome to KDE?

drdroid · 11-30-2003, 08:38 AM

I'm running Redhat 9.0 and I want to change the window manager from Gnome to KDE they're both installed. Everytime I install linux I figure this out and write it down, but I can't find where, but I'm pretty sure that there is an application I can use.

I installed "Discovery" MDK 9.2 , 2 CD boxed set and it didn't include GNOME and alot of other stuff. So I purchased a 3 CD set cheap and now have what I want . My question is should I reinstall everything as an upgrade or just run the 3rd CD(assuming thats where what I didn't get is)?

Hi.

Install what you need from the 3rd CD - RPM is very picky about dependancies, so it won't let you install anything that it can't support.

Thanks for the reply. All I have installed is Opera, it won't affect that will it?

Hi again.

No, it shouldn't affect Opera at all. I can honestly say I've never had an RPM break any programs (well, not one from a distribution, anyway). Install with impunity.
