Migrate to KDE edition

[harpingon]

Hello. New to Sabayon, not new to Linux, but never used Gentoo either, so quite the number of differences from the world of RHEL/SLES that I'm used to.

I've installed the Gnome version of Sabayon 11.

How can I transition to the KDE one? Can I do it from the package manager, by installing some meta-package to set it all up? Or do I boot/install from the KDE DVD image, and do some kind of an install from there?

Ideally, I'd like to co-install most, if not all, of the available desktop systems for Sabayon to try them out medium term. For at least a few days each, so running from Live DVD isn't going to cut it.

Hoping this is easy

Thanks

use the package manager - equo install kde-meta

equo! I've been trying to use emerge ... Is that wrong? Lots of searches in google for how to do things in Sabayon hit gentoo pages and tell about emerge.

Lots to learn.

thank you, will try this tonight

Lots of searches in google for how to do things in Sabayon hit gentoo pages and tell about emerge.

Since Sabayon is based on Gentoo testing, all Gentoo instructions should work on Sabayon, too - but this way isn't recommended.
For me, the wiki is better indexed by search engines than the forum. But the forum is more recent. However, if you have a question, just ask.
