Hi,
I have the OpenSuse 10.2 DVD from Linux Format magazine. I was going to install it in a dual-boot arrangement with XP. However, based on what I have read, during the installation, it asks you to choose your desktop (KDE, GNOME, XFCE, or whatever). While I don't have any distribution installed at present, previous installations allowed you to choose the desktop you wanted to use when you booted. Is there a way to install all available desktops/windows managers and then choose the one you want to use when you boot /*You can install as many desktops as you wish, after the install*/ and then
chose the one you wish to use, when you log in. In fact, you can log in to more than once and have a different desktop on each one at the same time.
Can you let me know how to do that (bolded and italicized above). I attempted to install Suse 10.2 again tonight and it makes you select which desktop you want to install...Gnome, KDE or other. It does not give you a choice of installing all in order to choose which one you want to use at boot up.. :(
You don't need to choose a desktop at boot up. Install the system, and then you can install any desktop you want and provide for it to be available from a desktop login screen. There's no need to reboot.
