Installing a Gnome package will add the required Gnome base and libs, not the DE.
Exactly what I thought... I was wondering when someone else suggested that. Selecting a Gnome app will only drag along the dependencies.. not the whole DE.
Gnome was chosen as the default, but I don't have "pure" Gnome or "pure" KDE.
That will make the difference then. That odd kde_pure pattern only shows up in a KDE4 default install.
I'm curious as to what these files residing in 'patterns-openSUSE' are now. I have 55 text files, all with a single line "This file marks the pattern xxx to be installed." None have been modified since the 11.2 installation. They must be used as a reference for Yast/zypper.
If you figure it out, speak up :-) I suppose the other option is to email the maintainer directly... his info is in the change logs. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
