On a new Fedora 12 install how can one add libraries and applications for Xubuntu (i.e. add the Xfce Desktop with it's apps) ? Am using GNOME as the desktop presently.
Thanks,
Jay

Sorry that should be the Xfce desktop for Fedora 12 (not Xubuntu).

yum groupinstall XFCE

Hi,
as others already mentioned, you will get Xfce with yum groupinstall XFCE
I suggest to use the graphical "Add/Remove Software" tool because It will also show you optional Xfce components you can install.
Next time you install Fedora, you might want to try our Xfce Spin, so you don't have to install Gnome first. It features a very complete Xfce desktop with even more Xfce packages than Xubuntu. Get it at http://spins.fedoraproject.org/xfce/
Regards, Christoph

I use Xubuntu in our lab, and F11 with XFCE at home. I love my home Fedora XFCE desktop 100 times better. :)
Thank you Christoph for maintaining this.

You ain't seen the F12 Xfce Spin yet! ;) It's way better than the F11 one.
Thank you Christoph for maintaining this.
You are welcome. :) It's not only me but a few other guys as well, for example Kevin and Adam.
If you are interested in Xfce, feel free to join us. Join our new Fedora Xfce mailing list [1] and the Xfce Special Interest Group [2]. No need to be a package maintainer pro, testing and feedback is very welcome too.
Have fun, Christoph

Thanks, have added the Xfce DE.

I install from the DVD; since the Fedora 12 DVD has additional space (DVD is about 3 GB), it might be possible to add the Xfce desktop and application packages to the Fedora DVD itself so it can be installed during installation/upgrade of Fedora ?

I will ask the release-engineering if this is possible. Thanks for your suggestion!

You can either install the package group xfce-desktop in the Add/Remove software application, or "yum groupinstall xfce-desktop" on the command line. Then you should be able to log out and choose XFCE as a session.

It would also be a good idea to install switchdesk and switchdesk-gui so that you can easily move between xfce, gnome, kde or whatever desktop.
