Yes, when I bring up Synaptic and search for Gnome, I get a list of four files (listed under the "Graphical Desktop/GNOME" package group): GConf2, gnome-settings, icons-BlueSphere, and ibGConf2. Each are listed as "Installed Versions" although "gnome-settings" has an Inst. Size of zero. > >but for the life of me, I cannot get it to be included in my > >log-in options. > > > > > Sure. GNOME is simply not a part of Compact this time. In order to have > it there, you need to download it from Sisyphus. I should be able to manage that. Can I just simply add the Sisyphus "base" repositories to the enabled Synaptic list? This would be the URI "ftp://ftp.altlinux.com/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus. > I just wonder where your Synaptic has got this information from... I'm not sure. -- ============================================ (o_ //\ \/_/ E-mail powered by Linux ============================================ ======
