XFCE?

[kasu]

Hello,

I'm currently running the GNOME-Desktop but I want to install XFCE. But how do I do this? Emerfe and Equo fail, the Entropy Manager can't download some files.

Please help,
kasu

How precisely did you try to install Xfce, and what error messages and missing files were there?

Have you tried either of the following?:

Code: Select all

# equo update
# equo upgrade
# equo install xfce4-meta

or:

Code: Select all

# equo update
# equo upgrade
# equo install @xfce

Umm... how can I change the primary server? I live in Austria and I wonder why Sabayon always tries to fetch data from a dutch server?!

See the SL Wiki (Entropy - Available Repositories mirrors) for the command to optimise the order of the mirrors. Try that to see if it solves the problem.
