Operating Systems Linux Help:- Just clean installed OpenSUse10 with Gnome, now want KDE Post 98039 by Mark Ward on Sunday 5th of February 2006 05:22:13 AM

Help:- Just clean installed OpenSUse10 with Gnome, now want KDE

I've just done a brand new full clean install of OPenSUSE 10 and thought I'd take a look at Gnome. Having spent a day playing with it I've decided I prefer the familiarity I have with KDE.

How do I now install KDE? I've tried logging off to log back on with a different envionnment but KDE isn't in the list.

Ideally I'd like to fully remove the Gnome environment as this install is on a modest computer and don't want updates installing for an environment I won't be using.

I have no critical data on here what so ever, would I be better off doing another fresh install (a 10Gb online download)? Or is that not necessary?

Thanks,

Mark.
