How to install Gnome without CD

English Applications
#1

Hi all,

Can someone please advise me the link of how to install the gnome desktop.
I have attempted in the past to search for gnome within the software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3 site without success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btw, I’m using opensuse 11.3
and am running KDE as my default desktop.

Thank you.

No, don’t download, let YaST do the heavy lifting for you.

Open up YaST, go to Software > Software Management, then click on the Patterns tab. It will be obvious what to do from there.

Thank you the zypper in -t pattern gnome appears to have worked.

Much appreciated.
