Hie there
I tried to install KDE (K desktop), removing GNOME desktop and all its
utilities from Linux Ubuntu since I wanted some nice features from
Fedora......
After rebooting.. Only the shell comes up.. the GUI is not starting...
where could I be going wrong.. After converting .rpm files from the fedora
disc to .deb using "alien",I installed all the core KDE files...listed below
:
amarok arts compiz-kde
digikam gpgme im-chooser
caffeine kde-settings-pulseaudio kdeaccessibility
kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase
kdegraphics kdegraphics-extras kdemultimedia
kdenetwork kdepim kdeutils
kdmtheme kftgrabber kipi-plugins
knetworkmanager conversation kpowersave
ktorrent pinentry-qt scim-qt..
scribus xdg-utils xdg-users-dirs
xine-lib-arts zenity
Is there a registry setting somewhere, which needs to be edited, to point to
the new GUI (KDE).
Regards

According to the release notes, Fedora *should* run in graphical mode
with 256MB, but is that much really there? That is, is your graphics
card using some of the 256?
If you want to keep that computer, you need more memory.
