GDM Dependencies

win32sux · 05-16-2005, 07:55 AM

slackware 10.1 (full install using only CD1)...

i need to install GDM...

anybody know exactly which packages from the "gnome" series are required for GDM??

i tried meeting the dependencies manually but i wasn't successful... all i'd get was a busy cursor with a black background when GDM would come-up...

i know it's a dependancy issue cuz i installed all the packages in "gnome" just to test and GDM is working fine now...

i'd like to find-out which are the specific packages needed by GDM so i can remove all the packages i don't need from the gnome series as i don't use gnome and i value my harddisk space...

any input would be greatly appreciated... thanks...

Tricky. My first thought would be to go to the GDM page for BLFS, note the required dependencies listed there, then burrow down into those dependencies until none is left.

Erk.
