Hi list, My friend mistakenly installed SuSE Linux 10.1 with Gnome instead of KDE, after that they hardly installed network, which took a long time. Now he wants to switch to KDE, but without re-installing system(not ot lose that network;)). Is it possible? Any help greatly appreciated. -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, Scinetific Researcher, Department of Molecular Physics, Faculty of Physics, Yerevan State University

Simply install the KDE packages. If you are starting the machine in runlevel 5 ("directly into graphical mode") then the switch is trivial: you can do it from the login screen. If you start in runlevel 3 ("text console"), then edit your ~/.bashrc file, add this line: export WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde save it, then do: . ~/.bashrc and run 'startx' -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

Thanks very much Stephan, Marc, Kevin and all! I didn't knew that it is that simple, thanks again. Best regards, Sergey -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, Scinetific Researcher, Department of Molecular Physics, Faculty of Physics, Yerevan State University

Open Yast > Software Mangement. Change the filter to "Selections". Select KDE Desktop Environment and all of KDE Install. After it's installed, you can select whichever desktop at login.
