Hmm...
Using "" "" marks (double quote) works for me.
Using ' ' marks (single quote marks) does not work for me.
Please tell me how I can say that more clearly?
At no time did I say that this was the only way. I said that this is
what works for me. I tried to offer a simple solution to a problem.
Too often do I see 'experts' try to impress Newbies and completely
derive them away.
HOD Ed. Trying to help on lists and forums is becoming more than 'I
don't give a $hit anymore.
You did see my comment about the list monitor and the delay?
Hi David,
a third way you could try would be:
sudo yum groupinstall Cinnamon\ Desktop
Important: The blank char after the backslash!
BTW: I'm connected to the internet on my F19 box :-)
Kind regards
