Hey all,

I've downloaded the rpm's for SuSE 8, and have tried the following commands:

rpm -Uvh gtk*.rpm *.rpm
rpm -Uvh --force gtk*.rpm *.rpm
rpm -i --force gtk*.rpm *.rpm
rpm -i --force *.rpm

No matter WHAT I do, when I login again, it's still Gnome 1.4. What do I 
need to do
more ? I thought the rpm's would ensure some form of automatic 
installation etc. But I
guess not.

Oh, and if anyone from the Gnome team is reading this: Why isn't there 
some kind of
installation guide on YOUR site ? And why isn't there one for people who 
wants to
compile their own Gnome, and one for installing the RPM's ? It REALLY 
stinks that
there's no official info/guide. Sure, there's your FAQ, but what's in 
there on installing
Gnome 2.0 for a Linux n00b like me, is utterly useless. In fact I'd say 
it's pretty much
useless, period.

Anyway, if some nice guy would help me out on this, I'd be really 
grateful. I'd like to
try Gnome 2.0, but somehow installing this piece of software just isn't 
supposed to be
easy at all...
