The faster way (because it will avoid upgrading gnome or xfce for nothing, which includes downloads): Simply remove all gnome packages, upgrade, and then install XFCE. I think it is safer to do that from outside an X session, but it should be ok anyway. A command like: #aptitude purge gnome* && aptitude update && aptitude upgrade && aptitude install xfce4 should do the job, but I think the 2 middle "aptitude" commands can be replaced by dist-upgrade or something like that. Maybe safer too, I do not really knows. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
