Hello all, Now that Gnome 2.4 is out (http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/) my questions is ... How does one go about downloading and installing this as its own Gnome on SuSE 8.2 (ie... I would like to have the option of either using the gnome I am using now, or logging in and using gnome2.4)?

Your best option would be to use Garnome http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/ Alternatively, I may (*may*) be updating ULB-GNOME to 2.4.0 Of course, I may not have the time to do this before SuSE 9.0 comes out. I would expect the GNOME in 9.0 to be based on 2.4 (if I had my way it would be, assuming that 9.0's not in freeze already) which will make it easier to do the same as I've done with 0.x.y for 8.2 - a drop in replacement/update, which can develop over time. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2).

James' welcome efforts aside, you may be interested in this: http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/ Once this is in, you could probably copy the exsiting Gnome session script and change it to launch the new version. With such projects, I'm comfortable just running it by hand. (I tend to leave the distro-related stuff alone.) Regards, dk
I've never got either garnome or cvsgnome to complete and from following the mailing list, it seems like chasing the end of the rainbow. Yet I try, hoping that ONE GOOD DAY ....... Regards Sid. David Krider wrote:
