ianw1974 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 It is possible, it won't pull all packages, but it will install what is required to get Gnome/KDE installed and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Welcome on board! Mandriva uses a tool called urpm for managing RPM files. This tool has: - text-mode front-ends: urpmi (install), urpme (remove), urpmq (query)… - a graphical front-end: rpmdrake, which is available standalone or inside the Mandriva Control Center. Using urpm, you can search RPM packages the name of which begin with "task-…": those are meta-packages that will install all dependences for a general aim. Among those are: task-gnome task-gnome-minimal task-kde task-kde4 task-kde4-minimal So I suppose the answer is YES Mandriva can. But then it depends on what you call minimal. Yves.

medo3891 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 is it possible to install a minimal gnome or minimal kde in mandriva as am thinking of installing it Install using the mini dual iso: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.co...ial/iso/2008.1/ and then install only task-kde or task-kde-minimal the same goes for gnome.
