Normally I would just wipe the drive . It's the easiest and laziest method I know . Just like how I format my computer if I don't want Linux dual booting with my window's.

Nothing. It was originally wordplay on CDE, which was the default DE on OpenVMS and Solaris for many years.

What should I do?

RE: Install gnome (or KDE) and FreeNX - dmmcintyre3 - 11-21-2011 05:40 AM

I think on RHEL6 (based OSs) it's

Code:

yum groupinstall "Desktop"

I now get this error (this is only the last bit)

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
