Replacing gnome-shell on Fedora 15
by Geoffrey Leach 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Having tried (briefly!) gnome-shell on Fedora 14, its clear that I won't be using it any time soon. Seems to me that the obvious solution is to replace it with (my preferred) metacity as the default window manager. Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

Very glad I could help. You should probably read and reread the 'info grub' page. There is also available a pdf version of the grub manual, google for it. Jack

I don't know what your rootnoverify is doing You first message showed an F14 stanza (no chainloading). Try calling that; just copy it to your F13 grub.conf and then choose it instead of the F13 default Jack

You already said your F14 is _not_ using a boot partition. 2) I have never found it necessary to edit /etc/mtab 3)I have never used rootnoverify on a Linux boot; I think rootnoverify is primarily used for Windows stanzas on dual boot configurations. 4) Any result yet from copying f14 stanza to f13 grub.conf and then choosing the f14 from the f13 on-screen menu?
