Hi All, OpenBSD specific reading for installing GNOME is a bit hard to come by, and README and INSTALL don't mention GNOME, so please forgive the basic questions.
I think GNOME is either fully installed or partially installed (I'm not sure if I hung in AddDelete.pl at Avahi*). I issued 'pkg_add gnome-desktop gnome-session'. After reboot, a window manager does not appear to start. 'startx' results in a desktop with wallpaper, and nothing more (I find it less useful than an X session with a terminal). Concerned about a corrupt install of Avahi, I tried to reinstall with 'pkg_add -D installed gnome-desktop gnome-session'. I did come across http://www.techonia.com/install-gnome-openbsd. But I don't believe the fellow writing told the full story (though he offers screen shots). For example, he did not 'chmod +x .xinitrc', so I'm not sure he stuff should even work. Is anyone aware of a [comprehensive] GNOME HowTo for OpenBSD? Jeff * During package download and install, the machine went into 'power save' mode. When I woke the machine, the last message was related to installing Avahi. I pressed enter a few times and left the machine alone. The machine went back to sleep, and it was at the same place when I re-woke it some time later. ^C, and then I reissued 'pkg_add gnome-desktop gnome-session'.
