I installed OpenSUSE on an old IBM P4 I had lying around. I planned to use the computer till I get my Mac. The thing is, while I love the KDE4 desktop interface, its a bit slow and isn’t as responsive as when I install Debian with Gnome2 on it. I know that there aren’t any repositories for Gnome2 in the current version and I did a search on the net and found that one guy had added the old 11.4 repositories and installed it.
I also found a more convenient page which showed me that the KDE3 repositories are still there and I can still install KDE3 if I choose. I did and noticed that I had two versions of the same applications on my computer now. Once from the KDE4 and one from the KDE3
I’d like to just have one.
So I thought if installed the base system and then KDE3, that would be fine. But I can’t find a disc on the web that will allow me to install the base.
I saw Suse Studio and thought that maybe someone has already a version there with KDE3 or Gnome 2 alone. But I haven’t found one.
Any help???

So remove one - if dependencies allow. If not, do not

You download the full dvd, then choose one of the basic patterns.

Or the net install cd (not so much to download), that is how I did.
Netinstall, choose minimal system with X11 and after install is complete
add the kde3 repo and install kde3 pattern (1-click install or with yast
does not matter much).

Oh please ignore that last part about kde3 !!! I somehow mangaed to be
in the wrong thread - sorry.
But by accident, net install is still a good option here for a base install.

No, it is correct, the OP wants a base system with kde3 or gnome 2.
