gdm.. oke that could be possible.. but still.. i find it strange that everything of KDE is alos being removed when you only enter this command: "yum groupremove "GNOME Desktop Environment"" that`s just not what i would expect to happen.. <div>2007/4/2, John Mahowald <<a href="mailto:jpmahowald@gmail.com">jpmahowald@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 4/1/07, Mark <<a href="mailto:markg85@gmail.com">markg85@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > > yum groupremove "GNOME Desktop Environment" > > and yum started removing..

Development tools depend on their corresponding packages. And you probably removed gdm or something KDE depended on, without the KDE equivalent in place. Sounds normal, unless you have a specific example of a dependency that doesn't make sense. > yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" (-y) > and now it`s just installing a little more than 100 packages.. > that leaves another 100 packages that are being removed when you remove > gnome but not being reinstalled.. Yes, but did you reinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" and "GNOME Software Development" ? If not that is not a fair comparison.
