I installed Gnome, XFCE and KDE in Lenny and have decided that KDE is the one I enjoy most.
Are there potential problems if I completely remove Gnome and XFCE and make mine a true KDE environment? If not, what would command be to do it? Thanks for the knowledge.

Re: Completely remove Gnome and XFCE?
aptitude remove gnome-desktop-environment xfce4 should remove most if not all of gnome and xfce, might want to make sure you are using kdm and not gdm before removing gnome.
As root run:
dpkg-reconfigure kdm
and choose kdm

install kde first then do " apt-get purge gnome* gdm* xfce..* "

If you enter the commands like that, the shell is likely to interpret the globs rather than apt. Perhaps a more sound approach would be:steveo314 wrote:install kde first then do " apt-get purge gnome* gdm* xfce..* "
Code: Select all
aptitude purge -P '~ngnome'

I usually do this:
It works for me.
