RE: How to manually start gnome?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



How curious. I ran rpm -qa | grep -i xfree and it returned nothing. So then I just ran rpm -qa and visually inspected the packages. I have a ton of entries for Gnome but not a single for "xfree".

I'm running version 4.

Why would the installer install and setup for xwindows and then fail to install it?
