RE: [newbie] How to use Gnome w/Mandrake 6.0?
Go to the system tab on the K menu. There you will find a window manager switcher. Forgot the name of it. It will say something switcher. Click that and a dialog box will come up that allows you to pick GNOME.

Related to this thread: When I reinstalled Mandrake 6.0 some time ago, I mistakenly didn't install Ghome. I have since reinstalled it, but it doesn't show up in the graphical K login. How do I re-place it as an option on that screen? Thanks- -Alan On Fri, 13 Aug 1999, John May wrote: You can choose it out of the drop-down box in the K Login box.

When you log on, the box where you type in your login name and password will give you the option of switching to Gnome or several other desktops --- Jim Snyder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi How do I use Gnome with Mandrake 6.0?

Re: [newbie] How to use Gnome w/Mandrake 6.0?
click on the "K" menu and under one of the menu options (system or something???) there should be a "desktop switching tool" which you can use. Sorry I can't be more specific...I don't run Linux at home (yet..finally have everything I need -- I think G) and I can't recall EXACTLY where it is. :-) John - Original Message - From: Jim Snyder [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 13, 1999 8:35 PM Subject: [newbie] How to use Gnome w/Mandrake 6.0?
