In particular, I think:

* take a Joyride build
   * yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
   * http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/cscott/sugar-xfce-control should be
     portable to GNOME in a mechanical (s/xfce/gnome/g) fashion.
   * follow the rest of the instructions in:
     http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xfce#Install_Sugar.2FXFCE_Control_Panel
     to launch GNOME if it's been selected in the control panel
   * write a GNOME menu item/desktop icon to switch back to Sugar

Slimmed Down Fedora 10 on XO

Hi,
> yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

I gave this a try with latest Joyride (2592), and get a couple of
depsolving problems.  Maybe one of the RPM ninjas on fedora-olpc-list
could take a look at how we could resolve these?  Alternatively, maybe
we should be hand-picking the list of packages to add, since I see some
deps in there we don't want, e.g.:

--> Processing Dependency: texlive = 2007-35.fc10 for package: kpathsea
--> Processing Dependency: httpd >= 2.2.0 for package: gnome-user-share

Here's the list of dependency errors:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution

depsolving problems

Do you have an old OLPC-3/8.2 repo hanging around. Those should all be
either fc10 (unless they weren't recompiled in the F-10 rawhide) or
olpc4 so you shouldn't be seeing any olpc3/fc9 packages.
