Goodbye Gnome! Hello xfce!

After playing with my fedora install for one night I was about to throw my PS3 out the window. But luckily I consulted my friend Christian with this problem and he suggested the poor PS3 was just out of RAM and told me to install a desktop that isn't so demanding on memory. So I followed his advice and spent the night installing xfce. I'm glad I followed his advice. This desktop makes the PS3 justice now everything starts instantly. So what did I do? First I followed the guide to install Fedora 6, but I stopped after a few steps:

• Install Fedora Core 6 minimum install
• install dhclient
• run dhclient
• install openssh-server (so nice)
• set video mode (with my LG 42PC1RR ps3videomode -v 3 is fine)

Then I went straight to installing xfce. It took me a while to figure out I had to do this --enablerepo=extras in order for fedora to find xfdesktop package in its extras repository. After finding that out I added it to all my yum commands just in case. I'm not 100% certain I installed all these in the exact same order as listed below, but this order should be better than mine anyway. Just let me know if you have to do something not listed here.

yum --enablerepo=extras install xorg-x11
yum --enablerepo=extras install xterm
yum --enablerepo=extras install xorg-x11-twm
yum --enablerepo=extras install xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts
yum --enablerepo=extras install xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts
yum --enablerepo=extras install xorg-x11-truetype-fonts
yum --enablerepo=extras install bitstream-vera-fonts
yum --enablerepo=extras install xfwm4
yum --enablerepo=extras install xfce4-panel
yum --enablerepo=extras install xfdesktop
yum --enablerepo=extras install xfce-utils
yum --enablerepo=extras install xfwm4-themes
yum --enablerepo=extras install xfce4-session
yum --enablerepo=extras install openssh-clients
yum --enablerepo=extras install dbus-x11
yum --enablerepo=extras install orage

Now I'm ready to install some nice toys to play with. Stay tuned.
