[Linux4christians] Linux Suse 9.1 and GNOME

[David Fierbaugh]

There've been lot's of suggestions so far. Different installers, etc. Remember 
that each package manager handles dependencies on it's own, and separately. 
If you start using different installers, and package managers, you may 
develope problems....

 You're using Suse, so use SUSE's package manager. It's inside Yast.

You can launch yast by pressing [alt]+[F2] to get a "Run Command" window, and 
typing in yast2 (if it's not in your menu system). You will need your root 
password to complete the installation.

Yast can also be run from a terminal window (command prompt, shell window, 
whatever you want to call it), by running 'yast'. This will launch the 
non-graphical version, which is great for fixing video problems and stuff 
like that. Try [ctrl]+[alt]+[F1] to get the first terminal, and then 
[alt]+[F7] to get back to X-windows (ie- KDE or Gnome.)
