I just finished installing xfce on a second machine with a fresh
install of FC4. Thanks to this discussion, it was a much smoother
process. What worked for me was putting the quotes around "xfce*" in
yum install "xfce*"
For my edification, could someone explain to me why
yum install "xfce*"
or
yum install xfce*\
would work, but not
yum install xfce*
???
