installed Xfce and Evolution via apt
I just installed Xfce and Evolution with apt(because everyone says it is better to not be in Gnome of KDE when you are updating Gnome or KDE). Now, how do I go about listing them as options on kdm or gdm. Also, my machine currently loads kdm when it boots; how would I switch that to gdm? Thanks, -=Thinker

If you installed XFce4 via apt, Ilkka's build should have added XFce4 to kdm at the bottom of the dropdown list. It should also have been added to gdm, xdm and wdm automatically. Don't forget to run SuSEconfig, then restart X to see these entries.

YaST2 -> System -> Editor for /etc/sysconfig files -> Desktop -> Display Manager -> DISPLAYMANAGER, select gdm from the dropdown menu. Run SuSEconfig and restart X afterwards. -- Scott Jones (scott at exti dot net)

Is this in one of the 'usual' repositories? If not, what would I need to add to my sources.list to be able to get it? -- 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).

Not yet. I suggested to Ilkka that he talk to Richard about being added.

rpm http://students.oamk.fi/~olilju00 i386 xfce4 rpm-src http://students.oamk.fi/~olilju00 i386 xfce4 Ilkka just added a meta-RPM today to ease installation of the various needed packages. BTW, I've been meaning to let you know that your gnome theme packages work quite nicely with XFce4 (no need for gnome-settings-daemon). Thanks a bunch for all your work. -- Scott Jones (scott at exti dot net)

The meta pkg is available and is very convenient, look at the following output: linux:~ # apt -s install xfce4 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
