I did use Madriva Control Center aka Configure Your Computer (listing under system menu)
and yes they are installed i whatched MCC's messagebox list "installing such and such"
which KDE file should i download to start??
downloaded it using rpmi and and used configure my computer to install the task-kde package.
since i've done that, KDE shows up in the menu options just before i log in.
These are the packages that were already installed before i downloaded and installed the task-kde package:
kde-config-common-2007-28mdv2007.0
kde-icons-1.0.3-2mdv2007-0
one-kde-config-2007-28mdv2007.0
before i downloade the task-kde package, KDE never showed up as an option /or anything.
ok i downloaded and installed KDE, so i logoff and log back on under KDE and as soon as i enter my password i get this error
(unablle to start kstartupconfig. check your installation).. Plz Help
When i installed Madriva 1, i allowed 5 gigs, know i'm down too less than 2.5 gigs.
My question is, is there anyway of resizing my Linux paritions without having to reinstall Madriva and/or Windows XP ??
....
I have Madriva 1 and Windows XP on a dual boot.
ok when i installed Mandriva, i selected GNOME. but since then i would like to move to KDE.
How do i do that??
