Hi,

I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that.

I did:

up2date kde* up2date -u kde* up2date -i kde*

It printed a listing of the packages but did not install them.

Thanks,

How about using the yum groupinstall/grouplist stuff? If you use 'yum grouplist' you'll see a couple of groups that might be of interest: KDE (K Desktop Environment) KDE Software Development I am presuming you would want the first of the two, so you would use something like:

yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

On my system it picked up 11 different packages to install:
