Last week I downloaded about 10 gnome RPMs from Ximian, including the gnome-core ximian file. Today I decided that I would install them, but the message that I got back from each attempt was that they were already installed. So, I assumed that what I thought was a download was actually a download-intall combined. (I was glad that I had desided to download the core program first.) But I haven't seen any difference in any of the programs, so I decided to try to find out what version of gnome I was running, Ximian something or not. I couldn't find anything like version on the gnome desktop, so I decided to do a "locate ximian" and all I found were the downloaded RPMs. Ximian says that it is not necessary to first remove existing gnome, but would that do it? And why does the RPM installer fail with a message telling me that the programs have already been installed? Same thing? Can't distinguish gnome from ximian-gnome? Help!
