plati Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Just wondering if it would be possible to install GNOME 2.6 on a Fedora Core 1 system. I know jack all about compliled DE's etc. but Im sure I could find a tutorial somewhere. What I really want to know is whether it can be done, since I dont really feel like downloading all that source and not having anything to do with it Also, does anyone know a firm release date for Fedora Core 2, Ive heard May 10 but some say it will be out much sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plati Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 WOW! Thanks very much for that massive list of links on your post on linuxiso.org :D Ive bookmarked them all since Im still trying to understand Fedora, its repositries, etc. Correct me if im wrong, but I should add the sources shown on Nyquist Repo into the yum.conf and then search gnome on synaptic, download all the packages and install them? Theres no need to remove gnome etc.? And I should do this from another DE eg. KDE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihr Willkommen :lol: synaptic should only work with apt? unless they changed it, although he has apt repository too. yeah, i would do it from kde or something. Keep in mind that he does warn you somewere that his stuff could blow your box up! I have ran his stuff and so has others without problems, but some do have problems, i think i did have one box that went all crazy but that was with "experimental" or something. during gnome-2.5 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
