My bad. I know I want my basic desktop from Xfce, though I also use some apps from Gnome and a couple from KDE; I'm doing that now on my other machines. I normally install an xfce spin, and run yumex or the like at least twice: once showing what's installed (looking for things to remove); and once showing what's available (spotting things to add). This time I happened to download the workstation rather than the server version; but my tweaked (twoken?) install is somewhere between those two. I've been doing this since about '98 (when I retired), and my fingers know where most icons are, on which panels. So Xfce saves me a lot of time by keeping panels and icons. (The stuff under the hood fascinates me, but actuary tables tell me I'll most likely last only a few more years, and my doctor concurs.) I'm in process of trying Rick Stevens's suggestion, next time I get back to that machine. Anybody happen to know a way to c&p between machines on a KVM switch? Or even whether a quick way exists? (scp -r for whole files is fine, but a bit like sledge-hammering a gnat for single commands.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
