Re: [SLE] Switching from Gnome to KDE

Simply install the KDE packages. If you are starting the machine in runlevel 5 ("directly into graphical mode") then the switch is trivial: you can do it from the login screen. If you start in runlevel 3 ("text console"), then edit your ~/.bashrc file, add this line:

export WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde

save it, then do:

. ~/.bashrc

and run 'startx'


Thanks very much Stephan, Marc, Kevin and all!

I didn't knew that it is that simple, thanks again.

Best regards,
Sergey
