Re: how-to yum remove gnome anf yum install kde?

[Christopher Svanefalk <christopher.svanefalk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, when you are doing a group install (say, of GNOME) via Yum you are only pulling a pre-grouped set of packages. All these packages are still available on an individual basis, and you can install them individually as needed.

        I installed the "KDE spin" [never heard of "spin" before], and
        after a few hours had ssh working bi-directionally:  ssh foobar
        and from host foorbar I coulf ssh back.

        my "last bug" is that a python program fails.  It worked when I
        had gnome install, so you're right.  --Actually, on his temporary
        desktop I have parts of both KDE and Gnome.

        Is there a way of installing parts of Gnome?

        thanks!
