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.
