Re: Getting started with Garnome

[Steven Usdansky <usdanskys rocketmail com>]

I don't know if this will work for you, but I've outlined what I did below. I'm running RH-7.3 with runlevel=3.  
1. Set up a new user (and group) named gar and used it for all subsequent operations.
2. Downloaded and unpacked garnome-0.12.0.tar.gz
3. Went to garnome-0.12.0/meta/gnome-desktop and ran    make install 
4. Modified /home/gar/.bash_profile by adding the following :
    PATH=$HOME/garnome/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/garnome/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    GDK_USE_XFT=1
    export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH GDK_USE_XFT
5. Created /home/gar/bin and placed a link called startx in it: 
       ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/startx startx
6. cd /home/gar
7. startx

It seems to work ok, I just wish the CoolClean theme had been ported to Sawfish-2.0
