clueless

[Koen van Hees <koen verspeelt com>]

Hello,

I've let myself be baited into installing Gnome 2.4 on my Mac.
Some people claimed Gnome was really a desktop for the clueless, that 
UserLinux already excisted. That my past experiences were unhappy 
coincidences. I want to believe :-)

However, my experience this far is that I still haven't found out 
several crucial things:

1) how do I install;
2) where is the installer;
3) do I need a separate partition or hard disk;
4) what do I need to do before installing Gnome.

So far, all ftp sites told me to look for non existing directories, 
namely
gnome/stable/
gnome/latest/stable/

Everything you can tell me that gets me a clue in those four points is 
welcome.

So far I've downloaded all manuals and have read the installation 
documents, have searched through all download mirrors and well... here 
I am, still clueless.

Cheers,
