Gnome error: could not find /usr/bin/gnome-session
If I try to run failsafe gnome, I get an error that says the Gnome installation could not be found. I used ReiserFS.
I'm some what new to Linux this so pardon the lack of a good template.

Comments/Problems:
Gnome does NOT! load, only KDE works. Gnome fails instantly, complaining about some permission in /usr/bin/gnome-session And return me back to gdm.
When I manualy fix the permission with chmod 777 it only fails and give no reason.... and return me back to gdm
This installer looks good : ) keep doing the good work!
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> Nvidia drivers should be supported out of bock. Better intigration betwen the installer setup and the X config We give the same information over and over again? Easyer setup of X and gnome/kde. More autodetection X setup sets in the xf86config-4 mouse to be in the USB port, even when I chose psaux in the installer meny.
