Hi, I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that. I did: up2date kde* up2date -u kde* up2date -i kde* It printed a listing of the packages but did not install them. Thanks, Jerry

If you use 'yum grouplist' you'll see a couple of groups that might be of interest: KDE (K Desktop Environment) KDE Software Development I am presuming you would want the first of the two, so you would use something like: yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" On my system it picked up 11 different packages to install: ===========================================================================Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================Installing: autorun i386 3.14-2 base 89 k htdig i386 3:3.2.0b6-3.40.1 base 942 k kdeaddons i386 3.3.1-2 base 1.8 M kdeartwork i386 3.3.1-2 base 7.0 M kdebase i386 6:3.3.1-5.8 base 24 M kdegraphics i386 7:3.3.1-3.4 base 5.4 M kdemultimedia i386 6:3.3.1-2 base 6.3 M kdenetwork i386 7:3.3.1-2.3 base 8.8 M kdepim i386 6:3.3.1-2.1 base 13 M kdeutils i386 6:3.3.1-2 base 3.0 M Installing for dependencies: xorg-x11-xdm i386 6.8.2-1.EL.13.20 base 340 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================Install 11 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 70 M Give it a shot! -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey at mindless.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
