Default Re: Gnome doesn't start

sorry to be so stupid but how do we do that?
i tried yum install gnome but it says nothing to do
tried yum -C search gnome but it gives me a lot of stuff.

wow, ok, i did yum switchdesk-gui and it installed a few 100 kb worth of two packages
then i typed switchdesk from the terminal and got only twm and default manager so i guess i really uninstalled gnome.
Now i have done yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Manager"
and it is installing 8 packages totalling 5.3 MB
I guess I'll wait and see. Good learning experience.
Thanks. Fingers crossed. (And cursing mtnl triband unlimited 256 kb)

Working now.
thanks everyone.
