Can I install KDE 4 and GNOME on same machine?
Abandoned the 'multiboot project' I decided to install FreeBSD in a virtual machine:
Started with installing FreeBBSD 8.0 from distribution CD 'disk1' using default disk partition as devel/kernel distribution.
After the first boot, installed Xorg. cd in /usr/ports/x11/xorg and make install clean. Installation ok.
edited rc.conf and enabled hal and dbus. Reboot and start configuring Xorg. All done ok.
Start installation of KDE 4. cd to /usr/ports/x11/kde4 and make install clean. Installation process breaks 2 times in 2 dependencies (I don't remember the name), I solved them installing as single ports with make clean ; make config ; make clean ; make install clean, after each break restarted KDE installation with make clean ; make install clean.
Finally I started KDE 4. A bit slow, but it's in a virtual machine with
only 512MB of RAM.
Made changes to start system in graphical environment, so modified ttys file for virtual console 9 with kdm.
All what I made is well described in the handbook and I follow it step by step.
Well at this point I have KDE 4 but I also want to install a more speedy desktop like XFCE. cd in /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 and make install clean. All done without errors.
As last step I installed midnight commander and portmaster to check for port updates. cd in /usr/ports and run make update (not documented, AFAIK) followed by portmaster -a.
All done and works as expected. At this point, Why not installing GNOME, for the same price?
Starting GNOME installation with portmaster /usr/ports/x11/gnome2. After few days of dependencies installation and disk crunching appeared an error, this is extracted from portmaster job:
what is the best solution? Really must I pkg_delete the new version and install the old one?
thanks in advance for your replies.
